Once you’ve hit rock bottom,
—you can never be controlled
(Chicago Illinois: Water Tower with Studs Terkel—July, 1977)
Controlled to extremes
Unable to move
Without you leering at me
I slowly starve of reality
Of air
Suffocating
Drowning
'Me'
Dies
Manipulation
Pressing the buttons that count
Refined seduction
Manipulation
Of puppets on strings controlled
By hidden agendas
What I knew
as I grew?
Little, true.
What's taboo?
Not a clue.
Now I'm old,
life on hold,
sold and polled,
sites enrolled;
things controlled.
Leather haberdashery, leather holster,
Blue steel, steady hands
Nerves controlled,
eye on the mark,
Squeeze, slow and steady,
Eruption and bullseye.
A poet with a voice
and a popular choice
Tragedy dogged his life-
Emotion in a controlled cry..
Too early did it die.
Tribute-Roy Orbison (1936-1988)
My heart is full and it overflows,
the words of my lips cannot be controlled.
My eyes are searching for someone to see,
but who could be that person for me...
A FORTIES CHILDHOOD
Feelings ,then
were not shared but
held back, within.
A reservoir of emotions
controlled, withheld...
until death ,shatters
the dam.
A warm clear broth
Steaming
In a simmering silence
Gently roiling
Over controlled heat
Bubbling
To the surface
A scent
Of satiation’s sadness
Unfulfilled
Uncontrolled
Flushing love
Danger zone
Falling dreams
Rage, voilent
Crazy, mad
Controlled
Clarity, focus
Peace, happiness
Soaking love
Centered
Move on!
Form:
A rogue
is one who fights and bends the rules
to never be controlled, but to take control
so that one can victoriously walk in freedom
while wearing a secret crown
I can't Articulate my feelings......
Love
Beauty
Sacred
Forever
Controlled
Daydreaming
Night sleeping
Every
Waking
Sleeping
In between
Thought
Can't Stop.
Form:
Virtue
Angelic compassion
Self-controlled, caring, understanding.
Integrity, ethicality; corruption, immorality
Undisciplined, neglecting, judging.
Demonic cruelty
Depravity
Preferable to have controlled narcissism
than having low esteem...
Controlled we can perform
merit things... low esteemed,
we are useless to ourselves... !
The mighty seas controlled by Ginger Beard,
A prolific pirate creepy and feared;
His ship commanded grit,
Filled with obnoxious wit;
The ship sank and the treasures disappeared.
I once got a terrible cold,
Or an allergy from some mold.
All I said was, “ah-chew,”
And I constantly blew,
Until fresh air got it controlled.
By: Greg Stanley
For Gwen's Contest
Variance in His Veracity
Was a vivid variance in his veracity,
Controlled by capacity and tenacity;
When moving,
Was improving;
Appeared awkward with his audacity.
Jim Horn
under the deep sea
we are
disconnected
the surface a dream
rebreathing
totally dependent
freedom of movement
fins growing on the feet
buoyency is controlled
life is beautiful
Form:
I write these lies,
In order to see the truth subside,
Inside,
The eyes,
That always cries,
Inside,
The soul,
That can not be controlled,
By the heart's flame,
That suddenly turns cold.
capsized at forever gone lake
anywhere else they might have had a chance
native americans controlled this reservoir
they were never seen again
neither were their bones
or their hats
Butterfly feet touch 'pon water
Lightly it disturbs then ripples
Definitely it did not totter
Slowly the rings become triples
Ripples controlled by the potter
Water…
flowing continually onto the shore.
Yet, ever moving outward- controlled forevermore.
Vast, magnificent body, kept always in line,
By the Creator- God’s boundaries of space and time.
Water may be hard as ice
Soft as steam
Iron may be hard as mineral
Soft as pills
People can be good as saints
Bad as ghosts
Two extremes they may go
Emotionally controlled or uncontrolled
Friend,
Neglecting God,
Creator of man, sky, and sod,
Is to encounter your day,
With thoughtless haste;
The time thought yours,
Is controlled by God.
Time flittered away,
Embodies a life of waste.
When you grow extremely old,
accept what can't be controlled.
You must think philosophically
every time you need to pee.
Years and nighttime trips? Don't count -
too hard to reckon that amount.
