Short Constraints Poems

Is to be free of the Gods
free of all human constraints
your mind can then soar
amongst rainbows
of tranquility...

Gray light penetrates 
Ocean of candescence 
Above me laying idle
To hope on this dismal day-
For these constraints to absolve...

My permanence is fluid,
elemental water.
The rock is solid
and appears infallible.
'Tis the stream that penetrates 
and wears away stone shapes
pulling with it mineral and time constraints....

With this warm key, hearts open
Prospects widen
To sky's felt "life's a breeze!"
Without constraints.

Of such, who now rejoices
Song-freed voices
Have been, for these exchanged
Sighing complaints....

For expressing feelings
flowing effortlessly
from very depth of heart

freely without constraints

A Pale blue glass pane
Stands before thy soul
Limbs connected with chain
Contained in this hell hole
Life’s constraints all around
A life running aground

Gift
If slips its shackles
from the constraints
of words without want
of change
Let me be
if cries
dancing on the sighs
living between the lies
hope that never dies
If disintegrates in the moments
that it leads
as ethereal as its promise...

You cannot see their wings,
Perhaps they don't possess
Wings or Halo, as marked saints,
Maybe they don't need these things.
Such physical symbolic constraints,
They will always do good, nevertheless.

In four and sixty syllables
He strains to squeeze some thoughts profound
Into unyielding manacles
Of 8x8 form, tightly-bound.
He seeks to hand-pick words that sound
Unforced by metric obstacles
That sing and sensibly expound -
In short, do verbal miracles!...

On the theme of fancy-free
     I’ve no rules attached to me
Can write of nonsense if I choose
     Or use a hippo as my muse

Can write all day or not at all
     Or script about a bar room brawl
It’s fun to sometimes play the clown
    With no constraints to weight me down...

We have only our perceptions,
but how honest can they be
Where one man sees the color red,
the colorblind can’t see

When trapped in three dimensions,
we must push against the walls
Until we’re free of all constraints
—and clarity befalls

(Wayne Pennsylvania: December, 2020)...

Listen to poem:

I am, that I am.
I am, I exist.
I know, that I know, I exist.
I am self-aware of me.
Born free without constraints,
With no bounds or boundaries
Constraining what I am.
My 'am' intentional existence
Lies in being, conscious, aware and present,
Here and now, 
That is, 
What I am...

distracted
         surrounded ,
         shackled
          thoughts
struggle
        to escape
finite
        observations 
         contained
by
constraints,
by
    scruples, 
erupt ..
     pour forth...
become surreal
scribbles..
             sand
                 meaning...

Constraints of life unlocked by eighty-eight keys
All make a different sound
They put my mind at ease
This is where my hands are bound

My fingers move across the scale 
Like serpents through resting grass
Inspiration rushes through me like a gale
I believe ivory to be greater than brass...

Bury your fears in the soil
Let earth transform them
To seeds of courage

Scatter your pain in the wind
Let air refresh you
For growth and healing

Throw old constraints in the flame
Let fire free you
To bold ideas

Cast your regrets in the stream
Let water cleanse you
For new beginnings...

In control and giving control away a balance of internal light and dark ,Violet and lavender swirls free my mind from worldly constraints, My true form travels to the truth and the light, all the nerves in my body awakened, I feel everything, In this moment I fully experience my being ,flesh and spirit...

When writing a poem every day,
You shouldn’t let time slip away.
	For what is required
	Gets lost when you’re tired
And thoughts tend to wander and stray.

Yet hours at times disappear
When events and constraints interfere.
	So you dash off some lines
	Hoping when the sun shines
They won’t sound quite as bad as you fear!...

As a poet

you

realize that

once you've

tapped into the

creative realm

beyond religion

and its constraints

beyond evil and its

perceived vile

you find a kind of

an ecstatic freedom

that is addictive beyond

any manufactured drugs known

to us here now 

and you can't stop

ever....

Frozen like ice,
the idea had stuck,
some of them do,
and take their toll,
they call them fixations,
they are the constraints,
mostly built,
though constraints are rarely built,
but these ones you do,
and like an obedient boy,
put down arms,
whenever they are around,
whatever might be the gain,
or irrepairable harm....

Let not rash ejections of the mind
Blind thee of rational occasions
For idleness renders you unhappy
Yield not to whims 
Nor be rash
Restrain ridiculous mentality
For it is thee mind
That makes thee truth
Remain or disappear 
Yield not to prejudice
Yield not to succumb
Uneasy and insipid constraints
Shall not render me
My Dignity and Integrity...

PASSIVITY

an idealised

meditates
on the

a
denial
of
a

imposition

diverse

in
the
 rigorous
 recognition

 of insight

such

In the wards of the state
Custody is gruesome
We breathe and speak our constraints
Looming from hallway rumors

I am the hawk in the clock
Shaking hands with fate
Existing in between discretion

Charged with numbers
Time is the shock of stillness
We foam with desire
And wrench our poison pens

They train us like fire dogs
A hazard to be expunged...

God's
heaven
is not a
far off place. It
dwells within a realm
beyond the constraints of
our physical bodies........in
tune with all spirits in divine
order, resonating in Love's light,
destined to experience our rebirth.

That mindset
I desire
Where my thought's
Are free to roam
Flow
Without constraints
Between
The hemispheres
And home
Emotional strings
Attach me
To Earthly troubles
An drowning bubbles
I look a bout
I've lost
That mindset
Plunge
Straight back in
To Earthly bubbles
An drowning troubles
Where
My thought's
And words
Are constrained...
