Short My Hands Are Tied Poems

Her hands softly tied
passion engulfs her body
eagerly waiting...

I watch you in my deepest despair 
Falling from all you know and care 
A life of uncertainty
Slowly driven down hill
Now my hands are tied 
In vain, I cry 
My tears fill
Pools to
Swim...

i have so much
to say yet
no one will
listen

i have so much 
to see yet
no one will
show me

my hands are tied 
and my mouth is
glued shut

what a conundrum
how unfortunate...

people of Haiti
why are your 
hands still tied
behind 
your backs
while 
holding on
tight to 
the 
slave master's gate
this flame of hope 
shall not escape
when 
we need 
this chance to change
and step into the light...

look at me not
enjoy them fully
my courage is dull
appetite is blocked
taste buds paralyzed
sensitivity asleep
hands, legs tied
enjoy, enjoy them
let devil pick remains
and drop them
in my father’s house
when I begin to live
again...

i stood there faceless

my hands were tied

condemned and speechless

whistled offside

shocked, betrayed

silent

call it a raid

violent

the blind still leading the blind 

thanks, i’ll wait for my own kind...

If a blind man has eyes to see, why is he speaking
If a muted mouth can’t talk why is he looking?
If hands be tied, and feet are bare, what’s keeping you from walking

look around, look around closely
there are things in this world that are gold or just yellow
Choose what you like but to me
your name has a hidden symphony with mild or mellow
tonight I drink to grief
as my hands are tied if you can't whisper a simple hello....

There was once a busy poet called Ried
Whose muse fondling hands his angry wife tied 
Motionless at night on bed
He muttered poems instead
Wife wasn’t happy though ink in his pen dried.

You can hear the voices?
You can hear the choices?
The distant echoes
of the lows
and highs 
of the skies.

Keep close my friend.
Remember the messages you used to send?
My hands are tied
and my voice then sighed.
The screams sounded
and left me dumbfounded.

World keeps to turn on,
we are born and die,
dawn comes as night ends.
death reigns in all spots
of this poor, old land.


Time takes big paces,
we don't learn parts,
in things that change
the world and life


My minds stuck,
hands are tied,
they are quiet


Tell me
what's right

Shush!...

She held her breath;
As there was nothing left;
Her hands were tied by her shame;
As her ears listened to the voice of truth,
 reciting her Christian name;
Here her Father held her broken body upon His Holy chest;

YOU CANNOT BREAK THROUGH
MY PRECIOUS ARMOR
MY HANDS ARE TIED
BEHIND MY BACK
MY LIPS ARE SEALED
AND MY HEART IS BROKEN
HALFWAY BETWEEN HERE AND THERE
I FOUND NOWHERE
AND HELD IT CLOSE
AND KISSED ITS CHEEK
I'VE BEEN GONE
FOR A MILLION YEARS
AND I DON'T THINK I'LL MAKE IT BACK
IN TIME FOR SUNDAY.

My hands are tied so I write with my mouth, 
if my mouth was gagged I'd have to go south, 
and I expect that would get more views than this poem, 
I'll leave you with that image cus I've gotta be going, 
it's wonderful when the ink starts flowing, 
I get like this when the sun starts glowing, 
as though a small part of me just starts growing...

Sin, sick, soul
Draped in images
Colors, and 
Scents. 
Aligned with snake skin
Coiled and bent.
Laced with elegant speech
And candy-coated lies
Ruled by the demons you hide.
A Scarlet letter
 Branded between Your thighs
Memories,
A simple guise.
Immersed in self-pity and pride
Sin 
Sick
Soul
Your hands are tied.

Oh! To delight this sacred skin.
Trembling hands tongue tied,
knots strained beyond their hold. Thin
resistence, leather hide
gone supple, silky, still.
New wineskins. Who will fill
the holy cup of righteous yearning?
Quench the fire of passion burning?
Loose the rich, torrid symphony
from cauldron where old songs are churning
out prophecies of harmony?...

This is one fight you must face alone
the battle lines you have drawn 
the secrets you keep bought this conflict
no one can save you from what must be done
prepare yourself for it is at your door they will come
mercy they know none
your chance for espace has passed
lay down your arms
for no single person can fight an army
my hands are tied 
you must do what is right...

Don't ask me please,
because please I can't do.
My rubber backbone,
will only cheat you.

I'm a lonely disease,
I'm the cold in the breeze,
I'm on my knees,
my hands are tied,
and I've tried.
I've tried, I tried, I tried, I tried.
I've tired out,
I've died out,
incomplete.

Don't give me a headache,
it will last all week.
My bleeding feet,
need to hit the street....

Your two hands are tied together at their wrists, 
Yet continue to embrace the twelve figures on your silhouette, 
Your movements are gentle, 
Subtle and almost silent, yet 
Possessive,  
Stealing every second given, 
You never stop, never wait. 
Even when you become broken, 
You are right twice a day. 
No, you do not control time itself, 
But without you, 
Time does not exist....

The more you try to hide
The more you would conceal
The more your hands are tied
The more truth you reveal

We all know who you are
And who you want to be
It’s close but no cigar
You’re now so much debris

So say your last goodbyes
Fade into the sunset
You’ll never win the prize
With promise nor with threat

Superman's returned
To save the day
Take me away
from this crazy insane
Way of life
Has it died?
As it seems I am dreaming
My hands are tied
Now I'm screaming
Cuz you lied
We're not the best friends ever
Now I'm cryin
Given you it all
I'm done tryin
My back's against the wall
Are you saving me?
What if I fall?
Are you reaching out?
I'm in heaven above
Are you calling out?
"I love you"?...

Words are spoken without a mouth.
I feel dreaded for being dragged so deep in a hole without an escape.
My hands feel tied without a rope on it. 
A heart beats thrice as fast than it should.
I am shaken and too thirsty to sweat.
There are two sides that belong separately. 
One being on the right. 
And one being on the other right.
Will there ever be wrong? 
Neither nothing speaks to me in such volume....

You're the ocean and the tides
Swaying me from side to side
You knew I couldnt swim
But you took me for a ride
With the craziness of your waves
Now Im drowning and smiling
I dont want to be saved

Its a feeling i cant describe
But i cry and die a little inside
With your every touch 
Im a captive my hands are tied
To the craziness of your waves
Now im drowning and smiling
Please I dont want to be saved...

I stood at the park lost in thought
with me aside was a lady
 
her face glittered, eyes sparkled
all were telling me tickling stories
	
I see a river of love flow from her face
but it was to opposite direction

my lips opened to say something
only to fail to produce a word

I extended my arms to dam the river
But my hands were tied to my body

I gazed and gazed at the sweet face
Passengers that saw me gazed too...
