Boxed

the chains that are bound
choking on each other's ignorance

fall short of the key

linked in division and plight
unable to stand as one


Premium Member Caged and Boxed

caged and boxed
smacked into a smallish space
Confined
I am a lion
roaring loudly and clearly
In mindfulness
Praising family
for their non-interest
caged and boxed
Living full me-ness

Listen to poem:
Lots of boxes that separates our thoughts from emotions, Where more is placed in one than the other making a paradox, Best with less boxes for a better perspective of life. Date: 06/12/2019

Boxed In

All 
is finite
or infinite
the scientists say

Laying the
trap
that supports
their foray

If either
is neither
is or
something more

Entrapping
our freedom
and handcuffed
— unsure

Box Lids, Boxed In

BOXED LIDS  © Haiku +

fear
Don’t enclose me in 
Boxes come with four walls sealed 
 Seals me inside out! 
 

fear
BOXED IN!  ©  HAIKU +
A well fitted ‘box’ closets in
When the lid clamps shut
Capturing me in darkness!

Boxed In

bottleneck
gridlock
no go
five miles to the rest stops
tense grumbling

vultures are gathering
there are people out of their cars
screaming incoherently
like zombies

inside an in-car video game
avatars turn helplessly
in small jerky circles

Boxed

I’ve sealed it in a paper box… 
Every trace I had 
I could not bear the memory 
A story ended sad!

Picture frames & baby books 
Little bits and bobs 
Any trace I found of you 
Kept hidden form my sobs.

Deeper than a mother could
Have ever felt the pain 
Losing my small baby child 
Has driven me insane!

Boxed In

An unassuming, stone cold Ossuary !
In this place, the bones of my Soul lay .
Them - my spirit will carry
into a void, a black hole - to stay
for all of enternity -
that seems to be - fate for me
a repository
where one may find the story
of all -
who, with loves lost - suffer - no glory
as we await the call .

Boxed Life--She Sleeps With a Nine

Boxed Life

She sleeps with a nine
waits for his face
his distant return
too close
looming

A tragic slime
smooth stranger
smoother lover
pried into her life
obsessed
frantic
impossible to reject

she lives 
twisted
a boxed life
pulled by strings
too tight

An explosion is inevitable
the storm's coming
and she knows it
so she sleeps with a nine
and waits for his face

Boxed In...

Boxed in a schizophrenic world 
of bipolar attitude, drives 
the swing-set up and down 
sunny, rainy, switch, repeat 
lights on
lights off
tall, small, skinny, fat 
ever changing,
                    Ever Moving 

Evolution on the rise 
Darwin's birthday today 
Darwin laughing in his box
Did he get it right?
hard to tell
on thing is for certain 
things are for sure 
changing

Locked In, Boxed In

I am locked in
I'm boxed in
full of fear
no one can hear

I want to escape
but I'm frozen in place
if I could fly
I'd soar to the sky

I cry and cry
wishing to die
when I think of you
I feel brand new

Your love makes me stronger
so I will be here no longer
I have no one to tell
without you it's hell

When your not here
I feel with fear
Your heart is the key
to the box that restrains me
