You and me so intertwined.
I love the way your hand cuffs mine.
Love so strong, we can't go wrong.
Companionship is what we own.
Love, trust and respect is what we get. ?

walking in the rain
it was pain
for  some rich and poor
opening the freedom door
shots rang out
no doudt
some us had to fall
hand cuffs against the wall
there  work to be done
THE HIWAY TO FREEDOM...

silken cuffs 
adorning wrists 
caged eyes 
dripping denial
yet yearning
limbs bound 
for the unknown 
sliver of light 
illuminates  
body carved
glistening 
features obscured
in masked 
anticipation...

I like tree bark
Like to climb up it
With shoes with metal spikes
And cuffs with sharp hooks

I see a bird's nest
With eggs that are blue
I count five or six
It's a robin's kin

If I fall down hard
From this mighty height
I will crush a limb
I will hold on tight...

I pause every couple feet,
my shoes and pant cuffs soaked.
I stop to save the drowning worms
pinkish-gray, nearly gasping
littering the sidewalk like leaves.

you pull on my coat sleeve
and say stupid boy-things
bruise fingerprints on my arm and
kick at the writhing worms....

that soft sail
and the wind looks as if
it’s trying hard to breathe 
i have elements in me
a compass borrowed, for some sorrow i assuaged
my eyes upward and unfolding
over some wave i might beach
adrift
my cuffs are turned up
and arms are a reelin’, in that wind I know 
is my kite yet to a’sail on this sea
coming for me...

Talk to your spouse in such a way
That what you say
Shall reach the heart
And fetch result.

Don't shout
And end up in a bout
Of fist-cuffs, kicks and flying blows
And send your marriage to the gallows.

Misunderstanding shall always arise
But never let tempers and voices rise
Remember always your promises
And unite against all adversities....

found shirt with french cuffs
always with solid color
while wearing cuff links

when we would select
someone sinning did detect
error must correct

a democracy
has become and always is 
madisonian

for their point of view
we would interview a few
hear what they did do

what we often viewed
are those who we must exclude
not nice being rude...

Locked in a Cage



I Have been locked in this cage.. 
I am going crazy - up in a rage.. 
They should of put me - in a padded cell.. 
My knuckles are bleeding - all to hell.. 
Feraously mad - I have lost all control.. 
My mind went bent - then my soul, went into a hole.. 
When they came - to lock me up.. 
I begged them - to put on, the hand cuffs.....

Wrapped up in chains.
a hand on your throat.
cuffs on your wrists.
a knife in your back.
trapped in a ring of fire.
stuck in a world of water.
blood running into your eyes .
skin ripped up and swollen .
soul being tugged away .
claws drawn down  your face.
tears stinging your raw flesh.
always behind bars .
nothing coming in.
nothing going out.
a life of pain.
Lost.

Bright light so useful, suddenly goes off
Under great pressure for love to rebuff
Open challenge for living to be tough
Youthfulness, marred by emotional cough
And surrounded by most negative stuff
No need putting happiness in small cuffs
Cut skin, weary eyes, bruised head, life is rough
Yet to go low, all are not bad enough...

At protests in the 60's
We were dragged away in cuffs.
The cops arrested everyone -
The peaceniks and the toughs.

As we grew up, the only cuffs
Were those found on our pants.
Designers did determine when
Those bottoms would enhance.

The senior years have now arrived
And cuffs are all the rage
As we strap them on and pump them 
So our pressure* we can gauge.

Tap. Tap. Tap.
Shoes. Clicking against the tiles.

Cling. Cling. Cling.
Keys. Jingling against each other. 

Clink. Clink. Clink.
Cuffs. Clanking against the bars. 

Drip. Drip. Drip.
Water. Smacking against the floor.

Whack. Whack. Whack.
A whip. Lashing against my skin.

One more day to go. 



Just wrote this out in a couple of minutes with my mind on the topic word of "prison". Enjoy!...

They took away my peacenik beads
                          and things I like to puff.
                          My bell bottom worn out jeans,
                          blue, with paisley cuffs.
                          Head to toe in olive drab,
                          taught me how to march.
                          shaved my head, learned ways to kill,
                          two years without my fluff....

The world has forever
outgrown itself,
its pants no longer fit

The cuffs too short,
the waist too tight,
its inseam worn and ripped

The fabric that
it used to grow,
lay barren in the field

The magic that
it used to show,
a sleight of hand reveal

The world has forever
outgrown itself,
its future running out

The earth exposed,
the sky on fire
—all life but hand to mouth

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)...

As the storm brews in the tenacious sky
One can only dream
When will the sun arrive?
Handicapped from planned pursuits
The chain from the shadows lurks
Wrapping around your being, all actions made mute
Sun, Savior, Liberator
When will you finally release these cuffs of confinement?

*I decided to write this one due to how Central Florida was stricken with a tornado warning yesterday. Sometimes, boredom is a good thing!:)

Behind this barbed-wire fence
                (It hurts to tell you so)

They stripped me naked then stared
At the dirt I could not rinse.

Behind this barbed-wire fence
                (Slit wrists twisted in cuffs)

I told the half-dead counselor
                I’d really had enough.

Behind this barbed-wire fence
                (It hurts to tell you so)

Life is attempting suicide
                In a graveyard where all dirt goes....

The rumbling sound,
While I lie low to the ground-
Calling upon the cuffs of sleep -
To keep me in the jails deep-
It is a wave that strikes;
A hungry tummy to get a slice,
Of bread,
Of breath.
With a frothed mouth,
The emptiness goes south.
In this darkness, craving for food,
I remember the nuts unchewed.
With my head under the pillow, I yawn;
And the stomach enzymes spawn.
Midnight hunger is disaster,
That needs to be served like a master....

Flicking
Like a snake’s tongue
Out and in
Long scars
From under the loose cuffs of her long sleeves
No matter the sultry summer day
Crisscrossed up and down
The banana skin of her underarms
Raw shiny and tiny stained like tomato kisses
Smeared and left from the lips
Of her childhood Barbie
Sitting propped and prepped
Cross-legged
At a miniature set dinner table
Of delectable plastic
Fruits and cakes
Shrimp and fillet
Waiting forever for her Ken....

A magic knight coursing on in brilliance

On lean hack in clanging, cleaving aegis,

Crunching incantation-dark, blunt, and grunt.

So light illumines his cold, whiskered phiz

And it predates the warrior in night hunt.

Chase is stashed by shade then stir lulls to prance

When periphery is gorged by a mist.

Pitches of bolts burst ahead ere he cries.

His corpus recoils from cuffs in the breasts;

Wide-flat nose lights down to the ground; he dies....
