I heard the sirens hummin’
hands restrained behind
now in jail I find

I tread so lightly
upon taut thread of being
holding back restrained
fearing failure ever poised
lopsided by threat reward

Understanding too much,
feeling too little
Our being unbalanced
—and spirit restrained

Tranquil mannequins,
You'd think they are showcasing
Perfect harmony,
But their lack of expressions
Is simply restrained anger

Trust issues,
restrained heart
left frightened;
Believing
is so hard;
Aberrant;
Could someone
just love me
without cause?

A kiss upon your parted lips
Restrained and daring
My silken gown slips
Before me you kneel
Intent alert and mute
My senses are surreal

increments of time
lorn on fate's hands
lie motionless
as if frozen
like one drop
of winter's rain
on the edge
of an icicle
restrained

Gazing, longing, tempting

Moist, delicious

In the midst of my desires
Lay the castles of my heart
Dreams are fortified, hopes are restrained
Only faith will prevail and unlock
The castles of my heart

Guitar and vibraphone
sing with restrained joy.
Night gently arrives.
A few stars
pierce the murky
overhead blackness.
Small warm breezes.
Peace.

Two most docile animals have to be
Camels and horses no doubt must agree
Never complain
Totally restrained
Free to roam but committed, you see

SIN WEIGHS ME DOWN
restrained by my knees
my God pulls out all the weeds
brings me to my feet

Hope lies bleeding down a well
broken and afraid
Screams rebounding off the walls
Help stands distant on a hill
silent and restrained
Dreams recurring of the falls

I do not know?
My pen restrained and kidnapped,
but ink bleeds evermore
Voices cry: “Something More Be Done”
—fury to rage and roar

A mass of tangled twine
Convoluted madness
A center core of darkness
Each strand restrained
No logical way out
No sense to be made
Succumbed to the growing darkness
Silenced and forgotten

too little
too late
too forced
too late
too restrained
too late
now it's just too late
you could have been my love
but i waited
made you my regret
no one wants to be someone's regret

I recoil at your previous wish duly met...
but timelessly bled
Escapes restrained our semblance of dread,
but limitlessly crept
I had specks of me for you to test,
now decidedly unkempt...

I do not know?
uninhibited with one
restrained with another
responses vary too
between brother and mother
if this be the truth
recognising ego is at play
judgment scars innocence
till love becomes our mainstay

Used to be a whiz at chess way back when
Not a world class player but enjoyed myself, no end
Losing wasn't an option
That proved a problem
Had to be restrained, d'ya know what I'm sayin'?

When I'm with her
A tidal-wave abounds.
Restrained not by emotion
But a Heavenly clock, making no sound.
With love deeper than any ocean
Patience takes a back seat
Quietly and ever present without tears.

Mercurial, mischievous minx
Amphibious air swirling in turquoise tang
Ribald thief of restrained relief
Capricious caress in cobalt clouds
Hale blown heather tickles the daffodils' flaxen dress.

Frugality
Spending on things that's
really necessary
in restrained manner.

Minimalism
A technique that's marked
by extreme sparseness, simple
wilful lack of style.

Can knowledge surpass
a belief you hold true
Diametrically prescient
when thrust unto you
Is faith but the jailer
of transcendence restrained
With truth serving time
—in a captive domain

Untitled, their works of art (?), their minds
pried to the paper, full-out concentrate
only a few sigh and rub their eyes
and lean back, hands overhead, yawns,
relaxed, reclined, restrained, now!
Headfirst diving into the test once more!
