Short Setting Free Poems

Look ironic man                      					               
Drawn by one God’s golden bond     				               
bound but setting free...

A love that we have
May certainly be
A love when defined
Souls setting free
 
All of the time
The feeling and space
Is surely filled up
Without leaving a trace
 
And now just a touch
Your skin against mine
They're also in love
Our bodies a line...

a light 
shattered 
in colour of the old paper 

sailing across the sky 

an ark
webbed 
by moonlight tread 

setting free its sails 

a dream 
painted 
on the child's face

waking up with its song 

a light
shattered 
in colour of the old paper......

From the distance 
Emerged the wailing call
Banging the konga
Sending life
 to each Echoing sounds
Craving for expression
Setting free the immortal tales
With a rhyming tone 
It came out pouring
Dripping and dousing every reclusive minds
With satiating lyric
Satisfying their longing souls...

Crisp beauty of winter's first breath
filters setting free
crystal pierced emotion,
grab hold of me

Clouds held out inhibitions
night frosts left behind functionality
dainty the flowers,
lost in misery

Blankets soothe the sleeping
the canvas becomes pristine
images erupt euphoria,
as far as eyes can see...

the dawn burst thrust through
the belly of the night
wary by the abiding presence
of hosts of milkyway and the mighty moon
the morning break forth
like the chick from its shell
setting free and loose
the dictatorial sun
in a long reign with enchanting energy
and wanton warmth
behold!  to us, a new day is born...

I love to watch the ocean blue
The white and gray seagulls diving and dipping low
Schools of fish swimming in neat oriental rows.

Grills setting free the smells of wonderful food cooking
While guests on the beach stand on looking

beautiful sun rays catching ripples and making them gleam
this is the happiest ive ever felt, so it seems....

moonlight 
 wakens 
 ancient yearnings 
 in 
 my 
 soul 

 setting free my spirit 
 to 
 challenge 
 destiny 

 dreaming 
 arc's of infinity 

 fueled by the light 
 coursing the sky 

 searching  
 the 
 glimmer 
 that bends time 
 and 
 whispers 
 what lies
 behind, ahead 
 or 
 inspires 
 bursting atoms 

 shaping 
 strings of life 


 .....shifting 
 my 
 evolution...

A cold rain falls upon the ground,
Death in the gray day all around.
Muffled in mist of somber clouds,
Its cloak of darkness ever shrouds.
Obscured is the peace found within,
All that is and has ever been.
Under cover of leaden skies,
It waits patiently life's demise.
Each drop in melancholy sound,
The unspoken word of death found.
Bringing closure and setting free
All that was and will ever be....

May I live,
to tell of wonders.
May I live,
to write of love.
God, my spirit here, compounded.
Grant me Lord, Thy faithfulness.

May I live,
to tell of blessings.
May I live,
to speak Your Peace.
God, my spirit here, compounded.
Grant me Lord, Thy faithfulness.

Thank You Lord
for loving me.
Thank You Lord
for setting free,
this soul of wonder, wandering.
Thank You Lord, Thy faithfulness....

Gracious rhyme, may I write
peace-filled chime brings delight---

...verse of praise* thanking God
well-thought phrase for His nod---

...faith-expression with zest
setting free poet’s quest.

*Psalm 51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

Goodbye

The pen is alone, even with me
Writing is a frown,
Written upside down
And yet we escape with others’ words,
And our own,
From this life into reality

From misery to what?
Sometimes love, often hate
We await our fleeing
For the reality that isn’t
From their reality that is

Books and poems save us
Reality enslaves us
Poetry can free us
Allow my thoughts to fly
And me with them
Into our goodbye
Goodbye...

The Lamb of God
He came to us freely

Walked among us sinless
Taught us of God the Father

Healing the sick
Raising the dead

Setting free the tormented
Reaching out to the lost

Forgiving the sinner
Being the lamp unto our path

Showing His endless mercies
Suffered in our stead

Died to give His salvation
Rose again to show His power

Promised He would return
To take up His church

For eternity to live
In the presence of our God...

i saw dream-stones emanating 
  in clouds above the sea, 
with scarlet radiating 
  the sun was setting free.

a heart of hunger strained, 
  ring-fenced in golden bone, 
blue and silver veined, 
  no more to beat alone.

in living with a dying 
  that death could not possess, 
life felt death defying, 
  redeemed of emptiness.

i saw the angels falling 
  as snowflakes from the sky, 
and heed the future calling 
  to my true love and i....

Listen to poem:

in the hush of dark
it opens wide
setting free
the wings of truth

subtleties not seen
by naked eye
in daylight misconstrued

it’s in the midnight hour
when all is peaceful
that my heart reveals
its deepest truths

the universe at large
the home where we belong
this life of ours
within the realm of eternity
is just a flash
a wink

meaningless
yet
hardly so

Art splashed upon naked walls
spilling life where water falls
dams shall break, setting free
a part of you,  a part of me

Blues and reds and yellows blend
painting stories that'll never end
clouded magic becoming clear
inhibitions lain, drawing near

Blushed the light, furtive peeks 
gentle strokes grace her cheeks
in vestal hands the palate pleads
crimson tincts that touch up needs

colored moments bleeding through
it's a part of me, it's a part of you...

Cinnamon skies erupt a new day 
to wash along with yesterday's grey 

Held fast and steady   drifting away 
midnight dreams of rescue 
staring  desperation bleeds 
whispers seeping out the seams 

slivers of relics 
insomnia screams 

Suicidal thoughts of battles waged 
Setting free from feelings raged 

dear departed  past   
casket's motor on by 
seeking answers 
foolish question why 

Dogs howl  searching out a home 
Nomads tredge in silence now roam...

Stand while stretching out a hand,
Turning all directions,
Where the skyline meets the land,
It burns to make connection… 
It’s where thoughts cannot escape,
But still remain intuit,
So they sit and there they wait, 
Until you come pursue it… 
What may seem as just a plan,
Or dream that you in vision,
Can be born if you command,
Releasing you from prison… 
So that you cannot be bound,
By bonds that may contain you, 
Setting free so it is found, 
For others to lay claim to…...
