A look can mean more…
More than a monarch’s ransom…
More than a lion’s roar

Bailout Blues

Thieves held up the bank to ransom
a tidy profit most handsome.
With no cash inside
they had to decide
to make the people advance some.

Ransom of Souls

Politicians do favors for a bribe

Priests grant forgiveness for pay

Doctors will heal if money is real

God sees all of their deals

Tall tale possessed
Dark heart held ransom
Handsome silver tongued
Slang sucker-punched
Black his blue eyes
Wince at nothing
But truth testified

The Ransom Note

At the edge of 
The North Star,
We bound and tied
The hands of love
Tainted stars
Fill this sky, above
Where is the 
Ransom note
For love

What More Is There To Say?

If you ever want to see yourself
again, you must turn yourself in.
Pay the ransom with your life.
Kill your own mind.
You might consider it then.

Execution Plan

You and Police and execution Plan
Aren't you belong to the same Clan
Target killing and fake encounters
Ransom and extortion money
This is not funny..

Blue skies bless green beings
Beauty holds eyes to ransom

A Christ Mas Gift

He became what we are-
      so we could be His kin

He became what we are-
      to ransom us from sin

He became what we are-
     to make us what He is

Unmothered

Neglected by you, 
The simplest form of abuse

Not photos taken, so none to fade
Ransom for love still unpaid

Might as well have given me away
You were a mother only in name

Ransom Note Style Poem

Embarrassed faces don’t forgive.
Sinking into a bloody death,
Show real love next time and
Start feeling the open passion.
Stop the natural fear and,
Sacrifice the stress.

Reality Check

The Electoral College is fraud.
At it's best they take us hostage
Then pay our ransom in jest
This two-party-system
Disingenuous
Slithery snakes
Investing
In fear
Stock.

Masculine,Feminine

Impregnable boundaries-
The ransom of magic

Third eye wanders
Desiring swollen imagination

A cough, a sneeze
Clothed in value
Who knows true love
But what spent 
Agony in pursuit

Polonious

Polonious 
Interfering old fool 
Hiding behind the arras 
Pointing the finger 
Died for a king's ransom.

I Am Smiling

I cannot be kidnapped
I am safe
They wouldn’t find anyone
To pay my ransom
May be my dead body is worth more
I have to wait and see
In the meantime 
I smile at my abductors
From a divine place

Malicious Intent

frail and innocent		
she let her defences down
enticed by glib words...
now, like a crypto virus,
he holds her heart to ransom.

Sometimes I see your destiny intertwined with my random
Do you tell me that I am a phantom
Nobody understand what is the ransom
Nothing can compare to your tandem

Hostage

I don't know when but, 
Love snuck up on me and 
Took me by surprise. 
No ransom notes, 
No chains, no ropes. 

I was taken captive... 
By my own choice 
I don't want to 
ever break free. You 
got me now, hold me!

Grace Has Escaped My Mouth

Oh you Lovely, lovely fool, 
Grace has escaped your mouth.
All the words and all of the lines
that you waxed poetic, how you thought they would free you from your prison.
Instead, they exact their ransom, and hold you to memory

Lovelight

You look at me and I get lost.
My purest thoughts are quickly tossed.
Your shining spirit makes you so handsome.
So captured by you I need a ransom.
Just when I thought my time was past.
You shined your light and I love at last.
