Caballus 

I`m a stallion
Once run for miles
To cover a mare 

Tamed pulling a cart
Harnessed 
I have lost the spirit

When the man whips me
It because he hates his wife
I think of hay....

There is madness in the rain,
thoughts drip like magic from lips;
Ideas pour on the wind
Just waiting to be harnessed,
to take root in someone's eyes;
Breathing life into a dream,
Feeding imagination....

lovely woman- -
follow tracks of the sheep;
by shepherd tents graze

a favorite mare
harnessed by Pharaoh- -
beside you it pales

your beautiful eyes
sparkle the dark of midnight- -
I feel your breath...

Crazy honest
It's crazy the way I astonish
You crave the honesty I polish
How it's harnessed
Ripe and ready for harvest
Ready to cook, fry it up
Give it
A simple garnish
Damn that's tasty
Do I
Detect a hint of garlic?...

Walking the path,
Of unknown serenity,
To find my place,
Inside my identity,

Calm and free,
The pace has eased,
Within my body,
My soul is pleased,

In capturing tranquility,
Harnessed and true,
Quiet silence,
In everything I do....

handsome Harry hastily harnessed hazardous hayseed Hank
heightening his hellish heebie-jeebies.
Hank helped Harry handle hordes of high-spirited hitchhikers
heaping a hodgepodge of hocus pocus on Honey,
Hannibal’s handsomest hog...

At rising dawn of man we were acquainted with the flame
Then our clockwork devices channeled nature's force made tame
But there is one more energy which flies in a realm higher
Once love is harnessed we shall have again discovered fire...

Two Mules
Miracle Man
4/7/2025

It’s so easy to plow when things always please,
when one is stubborn the other must appease, 

But when harnessed together both must believe.
then be amazed at what two mules can achieve.

I was smote by words
As a soldier with bullets
‘Til I harnessed their power
And they slight retreated lest
   I would fire back

Then they came for my freedom
But they did not prevail;
No rights were forsaken
Because time outran evil
   And faded to black....

Her body rests besides a tree,
but her thoughts are restless;
they travel to places no artist
has ever imagined; places where houses levitate,
energy is harnessed from stars, crystals glow at night;
places which only exist in her fantasy book, resting on her lap....

Do you wish to take a Sabbath
From this world of anguish and lie?
Go visit the cemetery
You will surely find one nearby.

There you can barter your traumas
For compassion and peace instead,
The living have learnt not this craft
It’s fine art harnessed by those dead.

On the edge where sea meets sky,  
A canvas stretched, the kites soar high.  
With every gust, my spirit flies,  
Chasing waves beneath the blue skies.

Harnessed freedom, the ocean's embrace,  
Dancing with the wind, a thrilling race.  
Salt on my skin, the sun's warm glow,  
In this moment, I’m alive, I know....

percolating in time
i reached out 
and plucked a star

took its points 
and chiseled out
harden hate

used its blades
and shaved away
warts of deceit

with harnessed love
i rode into war
and lassoed peace

though weary
worn and often shorn
i remain in mind and heart
god’s infinite warrior

i am hope...

1,000 raging horses,
Spurred by the flames of wildfire on their tails,
Harnessed, with Iron chains,
To the locket box harboring your heart,
Could not shred one splinter
From that box
As the unbreakable power of your love
Holds firm the reins,
Through the fire of life,
Of the thousand raging horses
Of my heart....

They blasted off, breaking the bonds of Earth,
reaching for the edge of space
Cracking a hole in the great blue ceiling
that will nevermore be replaced.

Astronauts in their cloaks of pride,
bravery, their Tour de Force, in place.
The spirit of the first explorer, Alan Sheppard,
rode with them as they harnessed space....

For naught 
Tempt in darkness
That which the heart would not 
Have revealed by light un-harnessed--
Confess
~O~
Confess 
Have revealed by light un-harnessed--
That which the heart would not
Tempt in darkness 
For naught






Comments: You know what they say about whats done in the dark... Be well stay blessed...

over joyed by the
imminent alignments
of wondrous insights
completion of this enormous
cycle of transmuted energy
she is a conduit of love
incongruent feelings
harnessed affections
burning in orange flames
pre ordained divine consorts
dysfunctional blood lines
purging pure vesels
she is a conduit of love

Cannot sleep,
have to walk through the dark,
the unlit rain.

Sunup arrives
trundled out by harnessed clouds.

For a melting moment
liquid flamingos dance across
a shimmering horizon.

The new sky roams around
for a while
adrift in its painted landscape,

then it slips through a gap in the fence,
gleams out 
on wet unfolding wings....

Dawning realization 
Reality dreaming true
Harnessed imagination
The future bright in view
Healing thoughts breed unity
Compassion lead us to
A world of utter impunity
Divinity seeping through
Distant suffering memories
A species born anew
Powerful new abilities
Bequest  upon me and you 
Sought beneath the wreckage
Hope shall see us through...

explosions 
      of tonality
post
romantic

bells birdsong
melody & dance

moving movements
to caress
the soul
            alight
             in the ear

sounds of nature
harmony
harnessed
    
  in
     tragic outbursts
insightful
profound&deep

crescendo of death
            exposed
overshadowed
with
hope
       resurrected...

Fast cash
grab it nasty
Digital speed
While surplus bleeds
Suction greed

Make a flash
Urgent fast cash
The kind you need
The dollars that feed
Out of the way
Raining paper today

Target harnessed
Every ounce of cash
Government injected
Private inflected
Infect opportunity

Cash lies in wait
Eyes filled with hate
Never get stuck
Slash and bash
Cash to snatch...

So like dreadful ebony sacks of bones, 
Tethered and harnessed we are with memories
Grim and Gay both…
Desperate to cut away trappings 
Just as determined not to forget
Our loads melded together with a single fraying seam
From constant pulling for opposing purpose
We cling to hope that is a dry as the dusty bones in the sacks
Revealed in all that we do not say....

Take me on heels
upon these frail hills
Which has no end to what I feel

Take me around time
'n its supersonic chime
Believe me, there's no limit to mine

Take me to the heartbeat
harnessed with mine
An aura I get from its  chime

Too much of this gust for you
In me, is just too much a drought-
Frightened am I

Dwindling and revolving 
Around your chime...

Who wants to go "OUT?"
In runs the little dog
Bouncing and boinging
Off the floor, pogo style
It's definitely him saying "ME!"

Let's put on your "LEAD" then
He disappears
Runs up the stairs
Peeps round corners
Who knew "OUT" meant "LEAD"?

Finally harnessed and ready
Off we go
Happy little dog and I
He prances like a show pony
Proud of his days achievement...
