from love's cold constraint

shedding the shackles of grief

ice drifting downstream...

repeating her vows
saying "No!" again to drugs
she welcomes constraint
shaking its hand
best friend she ever met...

Yet whilst ajar, my hopes are wafer thin,

as door is slight, then wide awake am I

constraint of dismal days without reply

hopeful that if somehow, light shines in....

Clear blue sky
on a frosty morning, 
it doesn't even have to try
to be anything other
than what it is;
why can't I
be as nonchalant 
as a bird that flies
without constraint
across that clear blue sky?...

A builder of bridges
or defender of borders
An olive branch crossing
or bunkered constraint
The history of man
seems to favor the latter
The future of man
—the first option contains

(The New Room: October, 2022)...

i stand 
alone
trying to
walk away
from what 
is known
and in the
midst
of my walk
away
i step past
the fine line
that once 
shone
so i walk
away
from constraint
with light eyes
that look
into the
unknown...

The man, Van Gogh, seized passion with his heart.
With ordinary folks he did acquaint. 
Obsessed with failed success he lived apart.
When disappointment raged without constraint,
He left great art behind at death’s depart....

INTERPRETATION

 metaphorically
of thoughts
in the
 persistance
of
memory
once
perceived
in
gestures
of
spontaneous
innocence

this
necessity
in the
   constraint
of convention
  of events
in
 a distortion
 of desire...

He calls me into the unknown

Im running with wolves,

A vicious game to play

He knows I will continue

To participate in his trial

To reach a new start

In his coven wild.

With constraint,

I may resist

adventure exploding beyond

the yard....

Blank verse dances to five-feet time
but its endline words,never rhyme,
(unlike this poem ,I've begun!)
Its syllables,uneasy scan,
and makes it somewhat, a lost cause
if you cannot locate the pause,
structure helps its refrain along,
constraint,with freedom,its theme song....

silence..
        contemplation,
consecration-
          tenderness
transforms
                  emotions,
impulses
              feelings,
restricts. melancholy,
elicits
         constraint
brings forth
                integrity-
rapture
from.   
         ecstatic
                  torpor...

The vastness of your being
Your limitless soul
Fluctuating moods
Absolute control

Numerous colours
Diverse smells
Incredible home
Hypnotic spells

Stories told 
Mysteries unexplained
Independent ,free 
No binding constraint

Inspirational, spiritual 
Evoking emotion
I am now and will forever be
The ocean….....

UNITY

In solitude
Fully grown
One, alone
Singleton
Partner gone
Plaintive tone
Still I moan
In servitude

Released from duty and constraint
With a deep furrowed brow
I will make it my vow
We shall again connect
She still has that effect
If my time will allow
I can search for her now
Follow her trail, however faint...

Constraint

kite 
attends height 
With a dream delight. 

To taste the virtue of emancification, 
To gracefully enjoy the bliss of eternal celebration. 

To enchant the saga of the supernal plan of plight, 
Alas! the earthy string holds her back tight. 

To end her fantasies, 
With vigorous 
Constraint.

muse as you choose
      what is there to lose

   but

         when syllables 
                uneasy scan
it is somewhat
          a lost cause
                  if eye or breath 
mis the pause 

open or shut

structure 
           helps a refrain along

constraint 
      with freedom 
  
a verse
              theme song....

Pray tell, to whom do I owe this life of mine?
Mother—always an Angel divine,
Wife—for four decades, a Saint,
Daughters—love unfeigned.
Life’s Good, so
Paint
with a glow
Foregoing restraint
Splash your years—without constraint
Be happy—make laughter a lifeline
Pray tell, to whom do I owe this life of mine?

"Seventeen is the Lucky N

Love is veneration without constraint.
Incidental canvas mixing the paint.
Empath Aura, Lamenting Aurora.
Idyllic strength in Weakness blown restraint.
Seven wings lifted in your salvation.
Under pillow weeping willow-  supine.
Ten Carnal winds, gusts through oblation-mine.

Time
Time is the true constraint
Constraint on the human race

What is the future?
The inevitable outcome of man
Will human nature die?
Become pure?
Lose the tainted ness?
What?

Destiny is the only purpose
The purpose I want
But, so confused am I
Why?
Please help
The lost one... Me

Time will answer
Time will tell
Secrets of eternity buried in its eternal grasp

Waiting
The only task left
I will wait...

Time is a human restriction
Brought about to embarrass
Those who really don’t care
To be anywhere particular
At any particular moment
Within any particular realm
Of the universe.  It means
You won’t get paid as much,
Can’t have as much fun
And have to go places you
Don’t feel the need to, all 
for the sake of an abstract constraint
put upon this Earth
by someone who felt the need
to brag that he was/is/forever shall be
on time....

War
so perilous 
when love's weak
but infirm
when love's resistant
when love's firm
war,
as a powerless constraint
fails
then love
takes its stand
like steel
on solid smooth land
unshaken
little wind cannot break
war is subdued
battle fails
love prevails
like a resisting seed
under dare-pressing conditions
love withstands
war's weak hands
love remains
love triumphs
against uneven paths
love survives.
