Only brief free-rein
     rests the bird on a lone branch
        soon poetry flies...

When you give the horse his rein
 —it’s more about the chase than the hunt

liberty in waves
cantering along the shore
free-rein no rider

the mind beauty deep
electric storm of wild thoughts —
we control the reins

The King lashed his horse with the rein
And galloped up front in the rain
When he lifted his sword
It was, 'Farewell my Lord'
For that was the end of his reign...

Die Kugel faert rein
ohne schmaertz
das blut explodiert
und schreibt an die wandt
das die nerven so langsam
aufwachen
auch Allah sagt
das die Kuh
alles weiss...

If I could rein in yonder cloud

Entwine with love's ethereal rope,

'Pon gossamer, sweet Eros wove

Heaven bound, we'd gaily float

As dormant dreams of bliss, awoke....

A flying reindeer drank much beer
Wanting to be full of Christmas cheer,
When the man in the red suit pulled his rein
He wobbled in the sky with such disdain
He filled poor Santa with fear....

Imagination
Poets
Spontaneous magic
No limit, uninhibited
Einstein’s highest form of intelligence
Give her free rein, and let her soar
She will take you places
Your muse driven
Imagination...

unstressed,
with free
             rein,
in the
     realm
of tomorrow
beyond 
         the obscure,
unmoored
in 
    the  actual,
riding
    the fires 
of imagination 
by
    the impetus
of
  my mind...

Countless times, yet birthed anew
Long forgotten rein
vast in ageless rule and strength
Yet to fall again
Here again shall turn the tides
Never does she sleep
The kings, in all their triumph, still
They bow at her feet...

Shadow me not,

for in my light you will disappear,

Take up your own rein,

disperse with your speak,

dwell not,

My warning take heed,

your rhetoric is plagued,

hitch hikers, decline their thumb.

Your words know their own way home....

The night mare blows
and stamps a hoof
A shiver shakes inside
She tosses head and arches neck
So instant terrified
A step and mount
A fearful wreck
For yet another ride
Of constant pain
with useless rein
The bit is bitten through
Again...

Reflections

What do I see 
when I look myself in the eye?
Reflections of a teardrop,
reflections of the sky,
reflections of a longing,
to be loved and understood,
a deserts thirst for water,
and a burning sands desire,
for a passions rein....

We are Gorlizasaurs and have free rein,
To tear you apart so you’ll feel more pain
Than scorching in lava or acid rain.
And when we’re done, the few souls that remain 
Will then face the fiend that’s holding our chain.

moods unleashed
       emotions
          given free
            rein
a
  traditional
     romantic
  upon a
  higher plane
intense
self-absorbed
    yet
      content
       between
       oscillating
feelings
   a see-saw
   of consciousness
exposed...

Once you were free running alone
Happily searching for one kindred soul
To share all the moments as one
Now you are broken to saddle and rein
Bereft and forlorn in the rain
Hoping for guidance no more can decide
Another heart broken to ride
Still getting used to the pain...

The rain 
takes the rein 
to reign, 
For the seas 
will seize the ability 
he sees to have ease,
And when waters raise
they'll raze his boat 
beneath the rays 
leaving him lost
for days
I say--

Then, if it stays afloat,
I can buy a new used boat;

Authorities hold their grim faces to the floor,
Making arrangements for their crimes to be no more,
Resting and planning while in their cell,
Deep in their clever minds rings a bell,
And so starts the construction of their getaway,
Dreams of evil crimes to rein yet another day...

Travel the lonely road.
kiss a few frogs! 
a toad?

Escape the daily drama.
Unless you have kids.
You're Mama!

Seak and search and find
A true love? 
Never mind!

Does it exist at all?
Can anyone really 
truly fall?

Escape the pain!
Don't travel alone!
Let true Love rein!...

bring hope around the world
watch undeveloped countrys uncurled
let freedom rein
and stop the pain
celebrate the year
for some people fear
it's coming to the end
help the injured and watch them mend
for we have one life one earth
watch the miracle of giving birth
hope for the future!...

A fit
of ecstatic madness
strangled the pen, and
a newfound voice
clearer than my own
rang through the
plane of white
upon which words
etched in frantic ink
carved, from the 
blank, rectangular sea
entire worlds
and I was to rein
a God in my own chair
so powerful is
the pen of a poet....

Half-past sunset,
where silence pierces continuum
and leaves a tiny cavity of Time,
where balance is lost and found


        Yesterday relinquishes power…
        before Tomorrow takes rein


a climatic breath of freedom
to tighten my aura
in the second between
the two sides of midnight....
