Short Inextricably Poems

under a sullen moon
silence hovered
my mind meandered
the two soon
inextricably
entwined

Breeze of change rustling through altruistic harmony

Intuitive feelings swirling upward on dancing leaves

Inextricably woven senses riding on prevailing winds...

Causality before truth
truth before causation
Universal in transference
inextricably defined

An atom of veracity
a little bit pregnant
Plato through Lewis
—reality entwined

Death courting life…
inextricably entwined

Most star crossed of lovers
their hatred of time

Death courting life…
new beginning at the end

Last promise to make
—final message to send

Tirelessly inevitable.
Age has an implosive nadir.
The surprise creaks of pain
like a sudden realization, 
inextricably perceptible. 
         Leaden mirrors.
               Dust follicles.
                      Mirages. 
Undyingly entropic....

You once gave to me something,
you now want to take back

But its cord is umbilical,
my soul thus attached

The title to the future
in invisible ink

Bleeding free your reluctance
—inextricably linked

Two streams that converge
   And flow inextricably
Are like two lovers
   Meandering about who meet -

Not knowing anything of what
   They were missing before
But now having full sight
   Each of the other -

Who rejoice at the freshet
   And meld and flow as one
Assured of their fate
   And their refreshing love....

Happy endings,
the folly of youth

The aged
alone to portend

Distance a comfort,
 expiration afar

Reality
mostly pretend

Death as a concept,
corpse underground

As different as night
is to day

Two ends of the spectrum,
inextricably linked

By time
—ever holding its sway

(Rosemont College: October, 2020)...

on this form
falls this force,
this elemental motion
brings to bear a center,
a thread woven inextricably
from a patterned death.
a modality of means,
pulled tightly but
too Abundant to refuse breath.
a willfull sword cleaves
the self from
any wretched root,
the dead leaves' fall
gives life to limb
and flame
as flame gives
light & blood
to our backs...

LACTATING words from the Breast of my Brain.
                          Not inextricably attached; Plethora of Pain.

                        Battles erupting; my Tongue and Invisible Ink.
                                Mind criminated; Unable to Think.

                       Meticulous Attention not given to my Habile Pen.
                     Tongue not Cognizant; Lost of Words; What THEN?...

tidy floral rows
     stark ragged dandelion
shears’ hungry maw gapes
   shing! 
              have a care; it will regrow
                     unlike your delicate bloom

surprised, you look down
     your prize tulip’s roots mingled
          with this intruder
               woven inextricably
                    gleaming shears look quite hungry

We've begun to live, spare apart vicariously.
To actively probe and grasp aggressively.  
Existentialism and ethics are linked inextricably. 
Individual liberty is a wonderful property. 
Nonetheless, it is frequently not taken seriously.
We may convey our concerns and difficulty. 
We all fathom the same solution to life's mystery 
Regardless of our specification, assiduously.

I don't need a day that's been set aside
To tell of my love that's forever,
For you are the moon and I the tide
Inextricably linked together. 

I give you no rose to symbolise
The passion my heart holds for you
For it's petals can't match the beauty I see
In your eyes of sparkling blue.
 
So I give you these words 
And the truth that they speak
For the message they carry is pure,
You are all that I dream of
And through all of my life
My love for you will endure....

gloom and sadness
transformed to infinite bliss
the moment i beheld
your heart-piercing beauty
 
i discovered
beauty beyond comprehension
beauty that reflects as joy
with inexplicable magnitude
 
we are
indissolubly linked, inextricably bonded
of utmost and eternal compatibility
immutably and unarguably
you are the lamp of my soul
 
i have a most unflinching resolve
to be your eternal totem of bliss
my devotion, terrific goddess
is absolute, irrevocable for eternity and a day...
