Premium Member Still Going for a Win

Hosed, he may not win, piehole’s constricted.
   Food tossed into pipe, and wedged.
      Yet, with save, he’s unhinged.
Form: Kimo


Premium Member Knotted

You make simple things 
become  crudely entangled; 
Knotting up a string;
Strangled thoughts and emotions
constricted to bated breath.
Form: Tanka

Premium Member Shrill Oddquain

Howl;
I’m throbbing 
blanket of stillness;
It’s too loud to hear the scream;
Wail,
stranded obscenely inside;
Fiercely constricted 
by my thoughts 
shrill.

Constricted

Walt Willis had a pain in the crotch.
He vowed to stop drinking so much scotch.
But that wasn't to blame
the cause was clearly plain.
His gut needed a belt with a new notch.
Form: Limerick

Premium Member Where a Man Can Cry

Her soft bosom
Her tender lap
Where a man unwinds ~
 Unburdens his heart
 To a sympathetic mind

Port in the storm
Oasis -- to restore, refresh
 Without strings attached
 Constricted or enmeshed

The Tigers Cage

Freedom comes packaged
entrapped and confined

How big is your cage, 
 to roam and define

Always constricted,
with borders that move

Its bars of detention
—forever reproved

(Dreamsleep: January, 2021)

P

passion of the song of love
persisting lingering in trans
pupil constricted sun sinking in
painfully slowly clearing the fog
puddles of oil excretion of engine
passing steps punishing peace
people appear as people

Chains Inside My Mind

These Chains that keep me tied
Struggling inside my mind
They keep me restricted
So that I cannot see 
The things that matter to me 
I must be set free
So I am not constricted
I must search and I will find
The key to the chains of my mind
Form: Verse

Premium Member Place Setting For One

How long had it been
    since his lips touched food
  Hallucinations parade before him
    fork and knife, wolf and lamb

  His arms outstretched
    chin devours the sand
  throat constricted, the flame flickers
    oozing blood, consumes a man

sellout

You're not profitable
announced the sentence to the verse
and slapped him with her length

the verse gave a good long look at the sentence
staring look

(you're soo punctuation constricted)

- chasing after money makes people forget to be free

Craving

I live the invention of existing
in a constricted sensation of becoming
I want to live from life, the solution...
I long for the essence of creation...
But I fragment into
hidden projects
that reflect secret desires
while I just wish earnestly to live...!

Premium Member she felt like his prey

she felt like his prey
personality deceased
no longer herself

trying to please him
angry sullen little man
enjoying her pain

she felt constricted
attempting to make him glad
her soul was dying

did she realize
she aided in her abuse
sadly I think not

Tunnel Visionary

Tunnel vision.

Superficial image
Of an acquired mental sickness.
Breath constricted.

Face pale, eyes bulge.
Tears of blood

Form a river and its tributaries.
Writing my own obituary.  

Pen on paper, ink on snow
Snowy fields, melted bones.

Thinking fast, moving slow.
Growing old.

Premium Member To Thoughts Addicted

To thoughts addicted, in a trance We’re a dead man walking In love’s bliss shower, let’s rain dance Resting ego squawking Riding on the bliss bus Where ego can’t nonplus Let heart’s joy consume us Life flow constricted To thoughts addicted 16-December-2021 Quietus

Grate Expectations

up through the sewer into the street
nice little window
could see what i missed
the bustle of shoed feet
a purposeful din
as they kicked about the puddles
pretty ladies in sequin dresses
constricted by a velvet shawl
at the heel of a good man
a rich one
he kicked me a drink
that was the finest day
of my life

This Poem Is Me.

This poem could have healed,
Could have done anything,
If it had been revealed,

This poem is lost,
Between two pages of an unknown book,
Maybe indefinetly tossed,

This poem is constricted, binded by society,
Yet freely sways like the tree it once was,
And its open minded artist bursting with variety,

This poem is me.

Premium Member A Dime in His Pocket

   A dime in his pocket
     hope in his heart
   Just his clothes on his back
     but he’d make a new start

   Constricted at home
     he took to the road
   Foraged for food
     yet upright he strode

   Three days and two nights
     of this, all it took
   For him to come home ~
     let mom and dad off the hook

Homage To the Fibonacci

Fibs --
Poems --
Not lies --
Poetry --
Based on a series
That slowly unfolds like a seed,
At first you hardly notce that the fib has started,
Then the lines that were once so constricted suddenly open like branches of a tree;
This is its nature and ever-expanding essential meaning and centrifugal motion of the exhilarating Fibonacci!

Forget the River

Do you remember the time we worshiped the river?
We would throw our sadness and pain in the water.
Devout sacrifice meant more time, 
more time,
but
there was never enough.

Sacrifice after sacrifice, the river filled with garbage
until its rotting mass, 
snakelike,
constricted our new-born infant Hope.

Now on the new-land I worship only myself.

Phone Call

Phone call

A quivering voice
Echoed through the phone
With a slight indecation
Of alcohol consumtion.

Slowly getting his thoughts out
As his throat constricted
Trying to hold back the tears
In his glass eyes.

A love that was amiss,
Love that was so far away
Yet in reach.

Hi drunkenness
Was not enough
To forget his memories,
Their memories...

Premium Member Destiny

Cottonwood tree wedged between two buildings
Being whipped by the wind rubbed against two  
Ruff surfaces, how can survival happen

Constant change occurs never able to reach
The destiny God had prepared for you 
Dwarfed roots constricted needing room

Room to grow, room to express yourself
Is it to late for someone to save you?
Only God knows your future not man

Inhale and Expire

.
motes
sunbeams
spectral view
exhalation 
could blow you away
I choose to breathe you in
travel via my airways
you become intoxicating
I know that you take my breath away

a constricted throat opens my mind
lay dying in imagined arms
astral asphyxiation 
paved road to redemption 
flickers in and out 
radiant light
bathed in silk
imbibed
end

Collision

two souls collide
alike yet so very different
one full of strife
the other one indifferent

are we really free 
or are we constricted
is it you, or is it me
a wrong so inflicted

so now please tell me
where do we go from here
do we revel in the past
or look to the future near

where ever our paths 
may lead to my friend
I am up for the task
with you til the end

Thank You Doris

lament [i have the lyrics]


you don't write me anymore
i had
grown so
dependant
so
needy
so
expecting
some sort of drama
within this
rather
strile
constricted
format
it is good to be king!

i was led
i was to
i was to believe

vacume floating
again
from
mantel
to coal
starved
stove

like
a
windmill
in
a
windfarm
blowing
a
breeze
to
no
one.
