Beyond horizon
Do I gaze or dream?
If it is neither, I am dead!
If it is either , I am confined!
If it is both, I am alive!

Standing with shoulders high
My sinking boat hangs on her ocean’s tide
Trolling her confined shores

Confined to a cage,
with a wisk in his wings,
he wanted to break free;
he squeezed his body through rods:
into the spring sky he flew.

The engines roared into life
And the plane,as it soared skywards
Smiled down at the traffic below,
confined to the ground.
Unable to fly.

The mad man sees fantasy.
With the spirit confined
In the world combined
And the soul entwined
By the evil of mankind

Crazy Ted

There once was an odd fellow named Ted
Broke both legs and was confined to bed
Walked on hands to go pee
A scary sight to see
When he shook it, it dropped on his head

Wet Tea

(Series: Silhouettes)


Rising in position
I want to caress the head in joy
Slowly & ask the **** about it complaint
She wants to be confined
& be lost in my mouth

Open?

my eyes are open 
and my mouth is shut
my emotions are free
and my hands are still
my laughter is flying
and my body is confined
my love is endless
but my time is short.

confined,
shackled in chains,
there isn’t an exit sign;
how can a person escape their,
own mind.

Forever free
Confined eternally

Why so wrong
Days are short

Stay and fight

The choice is yours

Premium Member Words Need Gush Forth

  or Muse over Mind

  if a tongue's in a bind

Words need gush forth
  as a swift-flowing stream
When water's confined

I am a Gemini
not confined to cursive and print
I throw in shorthand too

Premium Member Confined to a Screen

      A mind confined to a screen
         running on fumes and caffeine

      Sight, smells, sounds, sterile become
         old age, like unto death, her victims numb
