Oh whisper gently
That only I might hear you.
Of passionate words
and fevered needs that hold me
captive in your arms.
space flickers lifting the veil
whence in the void we set sail
wherefrom in time we return
held captive by love’s bliss burn
Play a song for me
My heart longs to be set free
Held captive so long
I am trying to be strong
Is the instrument all wrong?
Picture a moment in time
Held captive in a frame
Old memories come back to life
Treating us to glimpses
Of treasures from the past
like a boat parked in a garage
or a kite lost in space
I feel different today,
both captive and free,
but definitely out of place.
Captive
Locked in your shadow
Rigid as a board
Twisted in the dark
Eyes fixed and insane
Arms like heavy chains
Captive in a haze
refinement of my vision —
leaning oak, in midst of
evergreen forest.
though held captive,
captivated by
a simple grace.

I was meant to soar
your love is smothering slowly killing me
~ won't you set me free

Life is in
the nuance
When freedom
is entranced
A mystic shore
horizon pure
One captive
— magic glance
(Dreamsleep: May, 2026)
When the mind is held captive
the body is the prisoner.

I wonder if God laughs or cries
When men build walls to keep out men
And find their pride caught in surprise
Of locking out, but captive in.
Oh with her sweet smile
I was taken prisoner,
cry of the castle
shackled to chains of desire
captive hopelessly in love.

my life
its just a scrap of paper
traveling in the arms of the wind
i try to change the path
control my own life
but the wind holds me captive
Pure and pleading, cascading feelings
Reel from the old violin.
Whether one string or many
Her notes rend the air
and all are held captive there.
my ears in wafting wind
hear it whisper
break the cage
make captive dreams free
fly like a bird
on wings of fantasy
hemmed in by space
held captive in time
our silent rebellion
choosing cessation
in a void centric stance
liberates us here and now

Motivated by prejudice
And egged on by
Devilish intent,
Men flew birds of destruction
Eagerly to take innocent lives,
Now hold us captive to their madness
Love
is always libertarian,
free
and
warrior...
Never captive of hate,
never runaway from lovers,
never a prisoner of fear ...
Sweet Mary you’re such a delight
beautiful on this starry night
A vision for sure
You are quite demure
Can I be your captive White Knight?
they flowed from her lips
veiled thoughts, no longer coy
prisoner no more
with their utterance, freedom
equipped to roam and to fly
eye's weakness
red rose's attraction
captive sight
While captive, enslaved,
doors marked with Blood of The Lamb,
death’s Angel did pass
proton positives...
and neutral core neutrons hold...
negatives captive...
in distant orbit...
that difference stay distant...
and this? core remain...
they held you captive
mistakes you made long ago
cut the ties that bind
forgive yourself and move on
God forgave you long ago
