Short Bound Up Poems

Swirling leaves, yellow
brown and crinkled, whirling round
up and round, heaven
bound, up and away, sensing 
the spirits of by gone friends...

To be buried 
bound up tight,
surrounded sweetly by snuggles,
covered and cuddled 
oh so nice;
rollin' round
reaching for the top
grabbing and pounding you with pillows
playfully pummeling you with love...

eating your own heart
leaves no room for joy's desserts
bitterness banquet

the law of Lamech
once bound up, is now released:
there is forgiveness


----------

Genesis 4:23-24, Matthew 18:22...

Bound up, restrained
my skin's too tight,
I want to howl the moon.

I wring my hands
fright is my plight
ev'ning comes too soon.

Mirrors quiver
in ambient light
to an aged crone, I croon.

No where to run
at each twilight
alone, inside, marooned....

Oh streaking man on epic sea;

bold waterman stoked up on fear,

your blue room wall calm lunacy,

oh streaking man on epic sea.

In magic, bound up ecstasy,

your arching nemisis comes near,

oh streaking man on epic sea;

bold waterman stoked up on fear. ...

spring night owls 

dream i can’t quite wake from

beautiful interlude
spirit grain
rice slippery
pavement warm
gray nights
all bound up 
with what
will she write
tomorrow
ever again

queqeg
in a storm-tossed
journey
trading breadfruit
for wine
bouncing balls
 and
friendship

for short staccato forgiveness
of madness
silent growing
so nearly gone...

50 plus 50 plus 50 more 
are you kidding O.K. a golf course full
axnixmaxl's come to my house
the norm
getting used to it

oh 
hello Gorgo
say something if your there
must be Gorgon or Ceto
red bow
anyway your all bound up now
ready to go...

Rearranging, multiplying and transforming Greek alphabets are strewn across, under, and within the far field of my vision.

They are all bound up with cartoon snakes and quickly creeping ivy with small red leaves.

I brush them with my hand and they sigh.

They reveal different things, which obscure others, the obscurities reveal still more things to become obscured and revealed.

I cannot read them or understand them,

Only follow and behold....

The knife in the back struck me ruthless.
I bound up the wound as best I was able. 
I had to get small in my room at the farm
And store all my books in the stable.
Emotion sickness, Mal de Mer,
First cousin to the deep blue sea.
She courted me ad nauseum;
Made me Vertigo’s sad devotee.
While on my knees I noticed the dirt
Hard caked on the soles of her feet.
I counted my chickens as all wings and legs.
And I’m left with a page full of Fabergé eggs....

Crimson tide, Amber tears. Bones of gold, blood of iron
Hold me close to the fire
I seek my fathers aide
Warning, faithful to truth
Silver spirit, Orange soul
Broaden the scope
Trace down the shadows
Snowfall of blood
Marching to peace
Feathers bound up in leather
Kept from the flames
Made warm and safe
Words minted in bone
Zooming toward my own destruction
Powerful introduction to silence
Still alive, awake, aware, centered
Scorpions devour the stars...
