Short Loosened Poems

unbridled blubbers,
blurted sobs and lips loosened,
untie hold on tongue...

trout leaps, splashes back
rapid creek, roll loosened rock,
fisherman, no luck!...

This single drop of sorrow, 

is loosened with emotion,

 hurt, pain and despair released....

The ending in sight,
 —beginning so near

What’s loosened now tight,
 —those deafened to hear

Butterfly feelings gently loosened
Floating amongst easy thoughts
Coaxing ambivalent dreams
A joyously relaxing nap
Following too much pumpkin pie...

Straps around his waist,
And shining armour loosened.
Brittle backbone hurts.
Notepad, pen: poetry waits,
Fantasy deletes all pain...

It's hard to be the glue
That holds us all together.
If I loosened my grip, 
You would both let me go
Without a second thought.
Only when you need me,
Would you notice I was gone....

The raven loosened up his belt
And had himself a patty melt.
“Don’t eat so much”, I did implore
As he spat out an apple core.
Quoth the raven, “I’ll have some more.”...

Florence blew her nose, sparred with tears
Darkened our thoughts, loosened our fears.
Driving recklessly, we looked on as she steers,
Unabashedly crashes and dies. So long dear!

I was held in a tight grip
The sweat now running down my slip
I stuck my leg out and lifted my toe
To tickle his belly too and fro
He loosened his grip and went for a dip
My feet hit the hot sand once more....

Gentlest souls, promising grace will always win
Even through the shadows, there comes an inkling
Coloring hopes with feelings, blessed by the light
Softly whispering through the loosened darkness
Known by a promise to the kindest of hearts...

Loosened in winds,
how returns are always in vain ...
Something rescinds,
as if by a leaving train
we stand at a loss.
Nothing leads back across 
our shattering world.
Also, the wall built around
our inviting ground
now breathes the pain....

We searched for your slanting eyes
As you plucked a dombra
On the hills of Kazakhstan 
Your circles of light
Danced and leaped
Making the heath grow
In bundles
It sang your mission
Heaven on Earth
Heaven on Earth
The ropes
Loosened
Into One Source...

The sudden storm passes,
And the sun shines intently.
I have its power.
My slender stem pushes forward
Out of the loosened, wet soil.
My cap spreads abroad
Atop my stalk beside another.  
Then another...  and another...
So together we flourish
Like mushrooms after the rain....

Like water for chocolate
I cook't for the Gods
A nectar so succulent
It abated on my tongue
& I in turn was filled 
I gave n haven given
was revived
My tongue was loosened
From a thousand strongholds
My imagination ignited
into flame
My soul-a helium filled balloon
on which to pass the earth 
Contented...

I hear the loosened bark 
nestled and chafed beneath 

the whispers of dark sultry 
sweet brown maple pouring 

from within the silent rings 
of where life began forming 

a solid equator around 
the greek body of my wretched 

soul covered in white cloth 
awaiting your docile subtle arrival...

My tongue is loosened by champagne
but I speak as I do everything 
for all the world to know

I do things in the open
while you do them secretly
do you deny that

Take a drink my friend
say what you have in your heart 
but you never drink
you never say !

Because you are afraid of what you have in your heart...

The end of an era, the passing of an age, they do not happen in an instant; no they take time to wane. Though still in power, that power now fades. The chains are being loosened, the dark is slowly ebbing away. What comes next only time will tell for sure. But the current darkness is waning, and here I still remain....

Slowly n slowly the poison spread...
To my heart n into the head!
Slowly n slowly I felt the uproar....
Of my transition to a man I wasn't before...
Slowly n slowly I loosened the load....
Of dreams n hopes,& took that road....
Towards the discarded realms of futility.....
Which reached, perhaps, to obscurity.....!!!...

can I make you pregnant
so that we can at least
have a daughter or a son
it sounds less tackful
but as we have begun
all the obstacles have gone
and the strains of lust 
has loosened
I thought to be one
as father and mother
might allow us to be
together as a family
like the way we
think things should be....

My tongue is loosened by champagne but I speak as I do everything 
for all the world to know

That I am old more the pity and my white hairs do witness it
if good food wine and beer be a fault then god help the wicked

You call me a fool and a sinner maybe but we are not finished yet 
but so are you everything that I am...

My tongue is loosened by champagne
but I speak as I do everything 
for all the world to know

I do things in the open
while you do them secretly
do you deny that

take a drink my friend
Just say what you have in your heart 

but some never drink 
because you are afraid of what you have in your heart
You never drink and Say !...

The days are like water
 As they flow
 I am cleansed continously 
 The life of yesterday disappears
 Memories and emotions
 Are loosened from my being
 And washed away
 Into the current behind me 
 And become the past
 With each day death is taken away from me 
 And I start anew
 Leaving pieces of my old self behind…....

I never realised it was a temple
Until it was too late
Unfortunately my temple by then
Was in a dilapidated state

With permanent crack lines
On the the temple top
Outside walls have bulged
Loosened and dropped

This temple has seen better days
As maintenance it has lacked
No longer a temple
Just a worn out old shack...
