Captives for eternity
In so much of space...

A single gray pearl necklace 
Given as a pure love sign
That surpasses the reason
And captives the heart

night time’s starlight moon
curdles the whey of longing
clouds mask heart’s desire
trembling arms reach out to you
train whistles haunt the captives...

The Father loves His children and watches them grow in peace.

Till an Angel, once trusted, steals them away to their souls ruin. 

In the fullness of time, Justice comes, as captives awake.



For the sijo contest....

He went through 
The towns and villages 
Preaching the gospel 
Of the kingdom, 
Setting the captives free.

We are all captives,

Of this world our own.

Nowhere to run,

Nowhere to hide.

Life is to short,

To be captives of,

Our own fears.

So, live, learn, love,

And break free so, your not part of the…

Captives...

a hot day, white light
lime green leaves and roses gleam
in the starlight phase

scintillating sun
with its fierce glare everywhere
except long shadows

captives of white heat
as sun shows its true colors
midst adoring blooms...

When I pulled open the bag laden with captives
Their eyes breathed a great sigh of relief
Pouring out of the bag like a plague
They scuttled off towards the freedom trail
And wove silken webs to capture their enslavers

Well, wouldn’t you?...

Evil is targeting your next victim
Chopping them up into pieces
While they scream for help
Evil’s mother is worse than Evil though
Showing her captives a video
Of how she tortured her last victim
and chopped them up and ate them
She is now laughing at their screams....

The triple sun set - what a sight,
And colours that I’d never seen,
My captors chirping their delight.
The triple sun set - what a sight,
Before the thirty moons of night.
My fellow captives: bones picked clean.
The triple sun set - what a sight,
And colours that I’d never seen....

dying to live
when survival becomes 
a mission

then sacrifice become
a necessity

I own the world nothing
but my love

it cost me no vanity

cos perfection is never
my ultimate desire

instead I hope for life
cos right now 
in this world of captives am
dying to live...

possessions, when pilfered, are gone; stolen thoughts- orphaned captives, live on

Going to getaway 
Run as fast as I can
Every step I take will get me to where I want to be
Attempt failed 
They keep finding me
 
Escaped my captives
Speed is the essence
Can’t see where I’m going
Another jump and I will be free
Pursuers chase me
Ended badly I have a new collar that tracks me...

What has your heart desired to say when the words could not be captured and expressed in beautiful voice? A thousand verses and rhymes and stories did wrestle within, straining against the silence. What was waiting, captive to the throbbing heart, beat by beat, aching to be set free, stirred by pain or sorrow or joy or love?...

Finality
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

As days surrender to tomorrow,
They become captives of our past,
Forthcoming is No parole, no pardon, 
Just short visitation privileges. 
As our past enlarges, finality grows closer.
One breath sets-apart, today and tomorrow,
And each has a destiny with death.

He rode forth conquering and to conquer
A Lord of time, of this realm emperor.
His steed so pale, sure-deadly was his dart
And strong the hand that held his iron rod.

Within the walls of that dark tower mewed up,
His captives cry for freedom and for light,
And one who quaffed too deeply his red wine
Must ride a nightmare to the ocean's bed....

Who shall restore our land's dignity
When plundered by thieves
Who frolic about in the corridors of power 
How shall we escape 
From the lashes of history? 

'How can the captives be delivered from the mighty'? 
When engulfed by malodorous ambassadors 
Who like rodents eat up the nation's trust.
How shall we escape 
From the lashes of history?...

He rode forth conquering and to conquer,
Lord of our time and this realm's emperor.
Pale was his steed, so firm  and strong the hand
in which he held his ruthless iron rod.

Within the walls of yon dark tower mewed up,
his captives cry for freedom and for light,
and one who quaffed too deeply his red wine
must ride a nightmare to the ocean's bed....

Lobsters packed in eighteen-wheelers
grapple with their feelings.
A mass custody of shrimps
spoon together
still pink with passion.
Crabs cross-dress
bound more-or-less
to nips of salty resentment.
A soupçon of sea bugs
dished up
on bright porcelain plates.
Fresh alien captives
worth more alive than dead
until we break bread....

Icicle hardens; Her prisoner wails.
Soft dripped; Resentful his seasonal sun.
Clung tightly winter, her grip again fails;
Cheeks slip on puddles where four start to run.
Years of denial their story entails –
Captives held hostage by starry travails.
