After much struggle  against
Captivity of her heart, 
Which was infused with passion,
She succumbs to him..

In Captivity

Ideal splendour
flames of emotions arise
desired and possessed.
Beauty in captivity
adoration blazing down.

The Eye

My vision hijacked by thoughts small and big
My mind stammering with words not yet born
My words aroused by visions of timeless captivity

       In no captivity or subjugation

ACROSTIC 
Ambition was not mine 
Captivity whence and calms the mind 
Ranging fire burn alight

Shadows rise big surprise

In vain sacrifice 
Convulse converse rage outbursts ..

The Predator's Delight

In you can be seen the predator's delight
Enjoying the fear in your prey's eyes,
Setting to unleash your savage might
As the helpless before you lies,
No chance is there for captivity nor flight,
For mercy with your heart has no ties.

Buried Treasure

Buried treasure
deep in the abyss of turquoise
Buried treasure
like a queen in captivity,
of vanished glory, a drowned voice,
fables of when she did rejoice, 
Buried treasure

Your Ardour

Who adjourns me
in this backlight story
Who will call the wolf
to dance in her captivity ?
Willow wisp dispensing hollowness
espied on fields of grey

The World's a stage
disembark at your own peril
Pontificate
your ardour
anoints us well

Resentment

Ages of passivity
My soul in captivity
I have endured longevity
and created a malignity
Now lives my iniquity
Causing a calamity
I am damned to an eternity
of spiteful animosity
Will I ever be free
or will I be left empty
Only in time I will see!!!

Forgiveness

I’ve been forgiven and set free
Like a bird once in captivity,
I am doing myself a favour,
When I choose to forgive my neighbour,
That increases my capacity. To receive all
God has in store for me. And enjoy his gift
Of blessing, and a long awaited VICTORY.

Dogs In the Pound

They're tapping on the glass,
 you see?
I feel like i'm some strange anomaly,
 Please someone help,
come to the rescue,

This magnify glass is burning my eyes!
 In captivity I'll wait,
Until one special day,
 when the flashy bright lights stop inspecting me,
And I'll have a home for all eternity!

Letting Go

I held her close
Gently caressing her cascading tresses
Our hearts in synchronous rhythm
Beating to the tune of an unknown song
Her eyes of limpid blue
Held mine of softer brown
In captivity
Unwilling to let go
Longing for eternity.

She smiled
And sighed
And let go
Her soft breath forever!

Natures Ill Moments

Touching warm rains
blinking sun feigns 
foolish clouds try to sweep
thunder shutters  all.

winds combining to stir
darkness steps in to warn
that a storm has brewed
lighting startles the sky

nature held in captivity
time has been uprooted
beauty has been stricken 
till the rainbow rescues all.

Go Ahead and Take Your Break

Break away my love 
run free
never mind your past
go ahead, determine your own destiny
just like wild horses
escape
go away from captivity
but along this path of finding yourself
remember me
my smile
the way i laugh when nothing is funny
the emotion i expressed
when you kissed me
over and over again

Remembering Us

break away my child
run free
never mind your past
go ahead, determine your own destiny
just like wild horses
escape
go away from captivity
but along this path of finding yourself
remember me
my smile, the way I laughed
when nothing was funny
the emotion i expressed when you kissed me over and over again

Epitaph For the Hero--Lyrel

I spent my life in captivity
one day for every sin
i tried to admonish them
by saving the world of men

but too late for me
i am fallen into death
i fought for repentance
until my last dying breath

and here i lay now
buried in the ground
what my bow and axe did not find
was the peace that i have now found

Slab city

Freedom is captivity.
To be free,
You must lose liberties.
You’re heart can be open to the world,
But you’re body will be closed to joys—
Off the grid.
No authority.
A paradise of your own making,
Keeps you locked.
Hidden.
Shackled,
In a state of renewal.
Where there is no time for rest.
Only growth.

Scorn Me

scorn me-
said you, sanity-
free me from this
captivity (no
recognition, no one
can listen)
what more should be
asked / who
; left to bask in
the glory of the
slippery & sound 
"i'm sorry"
eyelids forced, 
bound down across
the face- sense
(erase) the mouth is
a cave, where not even
the brave may
escape.
