A Photograph

Blue eyes,
laughing,
 hands;
unkindly the memories pile together.
Severs of the heart shied away
kissing at their enclosure.

Premium Member Lennie the Lion

This princely lion called Lennie
In the zoo pub he had one too many
He awoke to exposure
Being in the wrong enclosure
Cuddling a princess lioness called Jennie

A Vision

Cloud of dreams, rushing past, here spun
Clocks tick, time running out, soaring 
In hot enclosure of the sun 
Sitting in a chair, reclining
My soul enjoying the vision


Premium Member Poolside Peek

In his shirt of bright yellow nylon,
Nicky hung, with his curious eye on
A pool he bent over,
Cool water enclosure
Still, he's well-dressed with his smile on.

Father Time

Cloud of dreams, rushing past, spiraling
Clocks ticking, time running out, soaring
Sitting in patriarch chair, reclining 
In blanket enclosure, thinking, dreaming 
Old Father Time, paradise waiting

Enclosure Invisible

Like a stack of overdue books
I can never finish with you
You are the designer of a love matrix
Sweetly you spread a net invisible 
I am just a june bug crawling in a spider web
 entangled for life.

Hypnotic

lose usual fear...
hypnotized by their hugh size...
their striking colors...

slither- slow- entwine...
hissing in the enclosure…
snake charm dance at zoo...

press face to the glass…
so thankful not in my grass…
they bite in a flash…

Happy Environment Day

I am confined in four walls in summer afternoons.
I am desperate to go out but 
the encroaching heat halts me.
Now, I can understand,
 the wiggling and plight of an innocent bird ,
who wants to conquer the sky, 
but forced to an enclosure.
Happy Environment Day!!

Derelict Beauty

The wheels of time frozen, the vines intrude weathered enclosure whispering tales of yore resplendent in the setting sun, a majestic edifice © Nadiya (15 March '15) * Placed 5th in the contest 'Three Line Poetry' by Debbie Guzzi on 17 March 2015

Thoughts On Cemetery Ridge

You are the beautiful antique room, 
half-open, decayed by light and familiar gazes.
Lace curtained windows, like eyes that see only the past, 
you offer wistful, paltry promises of enclosure, 
but as the wind whispers through the cracks in your walls, 
you are too cold to offer life.

Premium Member Sequence -Yeoman To No Men

They
cut up
the common,
enclosed the heath
and
made
the land
all their own-
putting to the
plough-
once 
freemen,
then wage slaves-
as a pauper
lie.

Love Tanka

You clasp me squirming 
                                           Like desire kissing apples
                                                 Of secret passion
                                        Making my face summer dawn
                                        In your hard earned enclosure

Your Enticements Are Incitements

Never say never

It could happen
It could not

Committed to
Non-commitment 

Vocalizations stuck on
Silence

It's enticing?
It's inciting
Riots
Put your President
Behind bars
Unlocked my cage
Set me free

Free to roam
In the predator's enclosure

Your enticements are incitements

Chivalry

Coupled, they brave the storm
and critical exposure
forced by the storm to form
a perilous enclosure.

Under its salvo, they
press shivering shapes together
to limit the foray
of such unholy weather.

Embedded thus, they dare defy
the higher forces. Yet
his chivalry is impotent.
For nature soaks her wet.

Premium Member Celestial Tinder

Enclosure of the Moon 
capturing cosmic glass;
The stars swirl around it;
An abysmal swallow;
Dreams drawn like a magnet;

Enclosure of the Moon, 
transmissible panache;
Tumbleweeds on the wind
so the dark sky shimmers;
Taking everything in; 

Enclosure of the Moon 
reveries wrap around
with a fiery whimper;
Hoping a wish will catch 
celestial tinder.

Alone

Tears are knocking at my eyes door
shut tight more and more
The knock is now harder, stronger
I can't deny them access anylonger
I will open and flood
the world with tears of blood

I'm quarantined in dark cubicle
Turning around in mighty circles
Lovely birds singing
Nice bells ringing
Beautiful butterflies swarming
Smiling sun warming
Outside my enclosure
All of these pleasures
sour to my dying senses
Form: Rhyme

Lone Days

There is a forgotten cabin 
that stands by the sea,
Old and dilapidating,
Its former years I still remember,
Happiness dwelt within its walls,
Joyful tunes emanated from its enclosure, 
A summer home,
A vacation abode,
Its walls glittered under the sun’s rays,
Abandoned and deserted,
It stands alone and grey,
No more pleasure to them,
They had gone and never came back,
It stands in a forlorn hope.

People Trapped In Marble

Jul 2013
Chennai

Proof that an indivisible portion of time exists,
Frozen in that time, unchanging,
Morphed into the metamorphic rock, forever,
Hacked, packed, moved,
masoned into walls of a ritualistic enclosure

I can drink on them for hours,
Look into their eyes,
Isolated, purified, distilled to 175° proof,
One expression, one thought, one pain,
...maybe that is why I can see them

Or maybe I just spend too much time in that room

Premium Member Surrender

In a way, each of us is a house, a temporary abode for spirit, subject to age – needing maintenance and sometimes an entire renovation. I examine the walls of me...the entrance and exit of both chill and warmth through the inevitable cracking. The chipping and peeling – the drying-out between eternities.  My next domicile, I want all on one airy level – having found, fullness and height are less directions, and more the surrendering of enclosure.

Premium Member I Went To the Zoo With Family, But Wanted To Go Alone

the malagasy giant jumping rats 
look at me as if

to tell me it'll be alright in
the end

but i try to ditch the family
and run off to the insect house

overhear a family wanting a refund because
the aquarium has no octopus

there's no banter
in the primate enclosure

the ape looks frightfully annoyed

and i'm trying to get me mate
into dressing gowns

willing to dead name once
a week

the family find me 
amongst the anteaters
