Solomon's Rhyme

Laws restrict
but can’t constrain
What happens freely
the light reclaims    
     
Cause and effect
together apart
Squaring the circle
—the horse and the cart

Like Herpes

When they leave,don’t complain
Let them go without constrain 
Be thankful for they dint leave a sprain
For like herpes they will always be back with a strain
Yes forever like herpes they will strain to pain

Freebird

Let go of your
hand grip
let go of
the past
Take fate as
a lover
betrothed
and recast
Your belt
and suspenders
restrict
and constrain
Release
your indemnity
free
—once again

Your Style of Verse

It matters not your style of verse,
If you're rhyme or if you're free,
Such distinctions are unwelcome
And constrain the likes of me.

For today I may be rhyming
But tomorrow, wait and see--
My mind may be as blank as snow,
And my words may scamper free!

Uncle George

Visibly bald from losing his hair,
lucky uncle explores healthy fare. 

Fresh veggies constrain follicle halt, 
fixing a maturing hairline’s fault.

Vainly Uncle George emits forced yawns 
glibly disarmed as new girlfriend fawns.

Amavasya

You can’t
embrace reality
forever

Its tenets
restrict
and constrain

By definition
it renames
itself

Once spoken
to then be
disclaimed

What comes
upon you
the moment laced

Where vacuums
exit
in time and space

Regenerates
from life’s
cocoon

In endless
cycles
—moon to moon

The Cell

The Cell

These bars confine and constrain
A cage of my own design
Built of illusions, wishes
A picture of a life dreamed

Chapters read, misread
My compass deflected
The map outdated, no one spoke
Signposts faded and fallen

Life larger than this cell
Expanding, awareness awakening
Testing these feeble boundaries
Self imposed, self removed

Stoic

Rain

In times of dispair.
          through days of rain.

     His spirit calls me,
          in my constrain.

     Forever guiding,
          his words are fate.

     My pathway eternal,
          through heavens gate.

     I chose to love him,
          then followed through.

     His love is everlasting,
          so faithful and true.

Premium Member Misery

Misery Written: by Tom Wright 8-16-2016 When affairs of life aren’t going right, I try to reminisce about the good times. Past lingering notions of feeling contrite, To rest in my psychological paradigms. But pages once turned I cannot abridge, For no more will they pass my way again; Seems I’m left to surmount a moving ridge, With thoughts that I’m unable to constrain;

Over Yonder

I tremble at the view.
I tremble at the sound.
I struggle in the forever
but how could it be true.

I frown at the sound.
I would run but confuse how.
I wonder can this be true?
be still its only you.

Life can be a chase
I constrain to race
only if I can keep the pace
without being erase.

Living can be a roller coaster
up and down around and around
competing without bolstering
I tremble on the mound.

Premium Member Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged

“Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged” Written: by Tom Wright 2/6/2018 When hush whispers classmates from us, Faint tracks are souvenirs that remain. Sometimes these imprints are superfluous, And ill musings we endeavor to constrain. But God hasn’t appointed us to the bench, To cast aspersions or be another’s judge. For the self righteous also bear a sin stench, And existing on each is a lingering smudge.

Regrets and Secrets Fret

Lies told from a broad, bold base
Strain and constrain relationships
Painting impressions that cannot embrace
Confidence in frayed friendships

Lies can’t leapfrog
Despite webs of subterfuge
Digital or analog
Concocted in a deluge

Flooding platforms
Hitherto serene
Grown stale when sullied storms
Gather momentum to clean

Fragments of laments
Swimming in rivers of regrets
Sealed in hearts and garments
That break free of sleazy secrets.

Time Reclaimed

Reaching for the universe
 fate extends a hand
Shortcut to Andromeda
  route at its command

The speed of light exceeded
all flashes turn inside
To burn and bend eternal
where life no longer dies

Each star laid out before me
 whose orbits spin and weave
Their presence all revealing
what black holes can’t retrieve 

Inside there are no limits
or borders to constrain
The words forever calling
in voices—time reclaimed

Desert Wine

Chilled or warm this life is so worn
bitter sweet or sour tart the ache of my old heart
life's aroma giving years of sitting while waiting
to be young again like a grape that's been blend

Across the desert I swirl of childhood as a young girl
champagne sand at night with the red moon I bloom
unbreakable glass so tipsy and free like fine Chablis
tiny bubbles flutter through my veins like a cork no longer constrain.

Love's Sonnet

A feeling that can’t be put
To words. It has suddenly come
Upon me. A tune to hum
Freely. My heart is afoot 
For love’s game. Input
Signals beating like a drum
In my brain. This great maxim
That we are easily fooled by those we love
Plagues my mind. How to express
Something I’d risk the world to say... 
But such thoughts must I confess! 
Or else be trapped in fear’s foul play!
Oh, how love is a beautiful mess!
Thus resolved, I constrain it day by day!

Premium Member Sleep Talking

You're "Talking In Your Sleep" again
If ask you about name, you won't feign
Just act dumb unconcerned

You're "Talking In Your Sleep" again
This time a very different pain
Tears from lover that's spurned

Tears flow because I don't constrain
Unfaithfulness you'll not disdain
This sore heart will sit churned

You're "Talking In Your Sleep" profane
Last time I'll hear her name and retain
I have totally learned

Premium Member Rebirth

A flower rejects the chill of winter's icy constrain
to bathe in harmony with the heavenly spring rain

A princely frog on his lily pad chains
awaits his mate and descent of fertile spring rains

A sly fox trying to survive his hunger pains
cunningly awaits the lifesaving spring rain

A farmers precious crop would be sown in vain
without the arrival of blessed spring rain

When harsh winters leave us desolate and drained
we embrace in the bosom of the rejuvenating  spring rain

Lack

Giving wander to profane
indifference as some life might claim
and being not of faith's exchange
I look away, as if restrain
did hamper my concern in plain
regard, no upset, no explain!

And word of honor seems mundane
agreeable but all in vain!
God sense my fault, in thee proclaim
amend not agitation's strain.
Accuse my mourning's breached complain
intact of wordless cause' constrain.
 
 With bench less lack, not righteous, lame ~
plead love, as justice for thy name!

How To Balance Society

How to balance society

There is a fury inside every one of us
For things we cannot change
There is a fury inside every one of us
For our Gods they cannot explain

There is blindness in every one of us
That thinks the world will change
There is blindness in every one of us
That one day we will live without constrain

There is confusion in every one of us
That high intelligence will rearrange 
There is confusion in every one of us
The ones whom define it is not for everyone’s gain
