like a phoenix on blessed wing
free from restless melancholic woes
with clarity our passions sing...

Destiny
Defy not the will
Escape not the clutches
Submit to your fate
Tread the uncertain path
Ignite your dreams
Never hold back
You are the master of your destiny...

Taliban Murderers In Pakistan
Why do I hope 
there is a Hell,
while wishing 
to escape its 
clutches myself?
Because I want 
there to be a
special Hell 
for those who
kill children....

Cancer
Never in my life,
Have I hated anything more.
Another loved one,
You have in your greedy clutches.
And all I can do is watch,
As you slowly take them,
Away from me....

Marijuana is now legal 'round here
You'd think paranoia might disappear
  But when folks get too high
  Some forget they can't fly
And take off into the clutches of fear...

The Air of Life
the fields blow against the wind of the hills
the land rolls with the gust of God's breath
it clutches the hearts of those that see
and as quick as it comes, so does its death...

probing my cheek
     a mild breeze
     released
     from icy clutches
       for a spell

     ducking inside
     i rushed to return
     vanished 
     the breeze
       no guarantees...

Nightmare
Holds you hostage
Pinned in place immobile
Fear grips you like never before
You cannot breathe, terror implodes within
Stuck in nasty devil’s clutches, 
Cornered, eaten alive
A painful death
Nightmare...

Salmon thought he had a chance
He felt it was his lucky day
The giant would grab someone else
enormous polar bear almost snatched Salmon's sister, so he
Jumped into bear's clutches
willing to sacrifice himself to save her...

They Have the Look, the Farcical
They have the look, the farcical
Over-fanciful stamp
Of last minute additions; in
Squirrel; cone it clutches.
Or in world-sized expositions
Of a display's re-vamp
Lily-ponded, frog-jumped, for those
Charming little touches....

Malleable in His Clutches
honest
heartfelt joy
uplifting my soul
enthusiastically brims
in the sweet tiny form of a toddler boy
i am malleable in his clutches as his grandma
nothing more delightful or insightful or honest actually...

Pilot Envy
Envy a pilot
     escape gravity's clutches
          for oceans of air.

Manufactured bird
     raucous call and rigid wing,
          momentary flight.

A featherless dance
     in the shadow of a cloud,
          elusive freedom!...

The Fog
The fog clutches at her throat 
       and drags her down into it's 
white embrace, consuming her life essence.  

As the fog’s mist dies, 
         so does the girl that once controlled it
that once owned it
    and had once made it come alive...

Ambitious
I can feel you with your clutches grasping with fever
Royal red and a fiery blue flames
I can picture you with a heart of need
Intense with desire 
Eagerly ready to rescind
Aching with humanity
I reach for your hand

Sunset
The long day draws to an end.
Reds, yellows, and orange
dance lazily across the sky,
retreating to their warm bed.
Slowly, the darkness grows
from east to west.
Sunbeams attempt to wrestle free
of its' clutches,
and the horizon
devours the sun....

Pain now swallows
To bring mellow


Hurt echoes pain
But not in vain


Dust marks deep stains
As deeds set strain


Pain lingers long 
In clutches strong


Live not in vain
For pain marks gain
