Short Free Reign Poems

I’m with family;
we’re younger, vibrant, laughing; 
through another door,
I run to a lover’s arms. . . 
free reign in Time’s passageways...

The sun has learned
to nevermore interfere 

with the moon 
and its stars

To give it a whole world
because the sun

doesn't need to stand in the way,
when it has free reign 
of the entire universe....

Thoughts of death.
Life roulette.

Play with fire.
With ones desire.

Beyond the norm.
Not to conform.

Quiet, Talk.
Quick-witted, jabberwock.

Past, present.
future judgement.

Chained domain.
Free reign.

Love to hate.
Soul checkmate....

Erik was incredulous.
He was twenty-eight, a neonate in the fashion world.
You are sure they said Nieman Marcus?
His wife smiled at him.
THE Nieman Marcus?
I guess so.
He was given free reign.
Youngest photographer to ever work for the Nieman Marcus.
Erik Madigan Heck, my friend....

Falling silent beneath a sky full of stars
Whimsical dreams bid farewell to the heart
Who holds them within, wishing them free reign
Through the crimson veins of light and laughter
Love that abides now and in the land of the hereafter

It’s the twenty fourth of May
And we want to get away,
But Covid and our governments
Say we’d better stay away 
From  up at our cabins and stay
Bored at home each day.

So, we’ll stay at home and play 
Board games…drink our ice cold beers 
And give the Moose and big black bears
Free reign on our cabins for 
This year and who knows …maybe next…
And how many more?

I don’t know where to begin
How I can reach someone if they don’t want to be reached?
That is God’s dilemma
God gives man free will
They can do whatever they’d like
Without restraining
Without interfering
Until one day
The day of destruction
Then one will wake up
And come to one’s senses
God lets man walk with free reign
But is it free?
Or does man need God’s guidance
Wisdom, power, choices?
You decide...

Innocent Slips
By: Miracle Man
2/14/2021

Sometimes even the smallest things in life,
often weigh heaviest on one’s mind.
Innocent slips that can cut like a knife,
when another was trying to be unkind.

These thoughts re-birthed, in mind will stay,
in some dusty corner of psyche’s domain.
It’s from these thoughts our mind won’t stray,
they always return, as if given free reign.

Their wings get clipped
their tails get tied
with nets restrained 
ensnared
horns cut off,
left for dead…

The hunters became the hunted
for their horns,
for their skin
all in the name of greed,
earth’s balance thrown off keel…

Humans invaded their territory
their free reign taken away,
chased out of their habitat
in the cycle of life,
their survival became unsure
their possible extinction a harsh reality…...

Sleep I can’t feign. I hear the falling rain
tapping a refrain on the window pane.
My throbbing pain recedes and I obtain
relief from the migraine which had free reign
like a freight train, a cause for mental strain.
Drat the champagne! Don’t blame the quiche Lorraine.

Racing for shelter, we defy the rain, our hearts a-song
   The heavens open, we slosh, slide and splash along
Shaking our hair, water everywhere, we are free
   To laugh, to live, to love, to be ourselves finally

Drenched to the marrow, we no longer care
   We're alive now, soaked but thriving in downpour's air
We see who we are, the water's washed away our veneer
   Baring exultant, triumphant souls, who passion's perils now dare...

Sequestered Thoughts
Written: By Tom Wright
8-10-2019

I sequestered some thoughts today at dawning, 
Other days I’ve allowed these thoughts free reign.
But today, I’ve a tendency, to sit here yawning,
Nothing worthy escapes though I rack my brain. 

Perhaps its a temporary psychological block,
Because the hour of night, has now grown pale.
Or the interrupting chime of our grandfather clock,
But most likely, It’s just that my thoughts are stale.

If I turn over to the Lord
Does that mean I give up?
Yes that is just it
You are giving up on your power
On your free will to reign
Because you are not reigning
But He is
So there giving up on your ability
Your magnificent super hand
And let Him be the One with the power
With the free reign
With the Incredible Hand
For yours are not
Not for a second
Not for any time
Not for anyhow
So there
Suck up
You are defeated my friend
Give the reign over 
To the Irrefutable One
To the Matchless One...
