All That Is, Is

In the circle of life,
Everything is contained,
But true to life,
Find your freedom within,
For within, you find you.

Edgar Degas did not mingle
so shy he remained single
His art self contained & absorbed
perfect though expensive 'daubs'

How can so much power, Be contained in so small a thing; Turning seconds into an hour, Causing bells to ring…

Lullaby

My grandmother's voice
Contained her grandmother's voice,
An ancient lullaby.

Took million of years to form.

Happiness
Engulfs you like a flame
Spreads until it can't be contained
Even the strongest wind can't blow it away
Try, it might any day

Trees Much Color They Contained

Trees much color they contained;
Energy from had been drained; 
Look we might, 
At such a sight; 
In mind many memories remained.

Comes creating co-creating cautiously 
Competition cleverly contained

You Knew

You walked in; my heart quivered.
A blush came over my face.
I contained my emotion.
You knew, anyway.

What's In a Name

If you rearrange the letters contained in Santa's name,
you're in for a big surprise.
I suspect that Satan uses Santa as his name
when he's in disguise.

Melancholy

Room’s messy.
Mind’s disorganized.
Emotions contained.
Thoughts emanating.
Art visualized.
Potential inhibited.
Poetry written.
Dreams unrealized.

Please

One drop of saline
 
Contained all her heart could give

Wishing for a whisper

A touch of hope or surrender 

May love and peace answer her pleas

Trellis

My love for you is an ivy
You the trellis on which it grows
You hold it up
Keep it contained
You'll never let it fall
I cling to you
You are my trellis

Gone

Oh, but
gradual as you come, you
             go,
and abandonment
taunts
as I sit 
still
in its threat.

Contained,
I see you
I watch you
I let you
drift away.

Snow Globe

shaken not stirred
causal whirlwind effect
mini storm contained
snow flurries mesmerize
a microcosm spinning

Poetic Ink

Words of the poet can be a salve that heals,
       stitches that mend mankind's foibles.
The very breath of life contained in a phrase.

The Power of a Kiss

Where lips meet in a kiss, to blow away the mind of both
Power too immense to be contained between just lips alone
Hands touch, the power explodes, hearts beat normally again.

Escitalopram

Artificial means of controlling my own depression
For all of these old feelings I've contained through suppression.
Sadly never forgetting how others left such an impression.

Written Skills Or Mental Ills

Engage each word of this poetic verse
For it reveals the truth of a concealed curse
Contained within the shadows of my written skills are the depths of darkness and mental ills.

A Kiss

When lips collide
as they are want to do
the tender crush
distills all to a moment revealing
what makes a man believe in heaven
is contained in her eyes
and released in her kiss
