in an unseen giant's hands:

the deft squirrels probing,

penetrating lush leafage,

spanning tangled trees' branches.

Premium Member Raw Perceptions

Tangled thoughts tumble
 onto yarns of jumbled concepts,
 which form ideas
 that weave raw perceptions
 into cashmere images.

Once Tranquil

Tangled in a web that is woven 
Thinned out thread once golden 
Captured in a love so divine
Now sowed together time after time

Disasterpiece

I AM LOST
ALL IS GONE
ANYTHING THAT MATTERED
WASHED AWAY
INTO THE DARK TIDE
TANGLED METAL
SILENCED LOVE
THIS TWISTED HEARTBREAK.

Premium Member Tangled

I saw an ant
	Tangled in a spider's web
		My heart gave a lurch
As to the ant I said,
	“I am trapped like you,
		And soon I might die too.”

Milk and honey,
sun-kissed and tangled,
spill into a river made of silk -
it clings to the sway of her hips.
Hazelnut, are the eyes, stalking.

An Apology For Parting

Please don't be distressed,
It's become a tangled mess.
You don't want me here.
Every meeting has its end,
Perhaps someday we'll be friends.

Tangled seaweed shore
sharp in salt and sweet decay
Crab claws still clenched shut
in defense of losing prey
Sun, to bleach, is on it's way...

We got tangled up in bed
Our legs, hands, fingers, bodies
Unnaturally twisted, intertwined
All crazy angles…
Why? Because of Kama Sutra typos!

Nature favors thy silence
In this blindfold form
A tangled task with blood ties

What honor mocks here, thus we
Mute moths to deceive dragons

Moonbeam

Obscured, distorted
by dense wood and tangled vines
Perfectly aimed flash
Gentle blue/white beam
pierces eye and frigid heart
finding a lost soul...

Overconfident
practice makes perfect we guessed
tango contest thrill
we moved and were dressed to kill
ending dance in tangled spill

They dance with fools in endless loops
Then flinch when theirs collide with ours

And from a distance no one sees
Who wears the crown and who the scars

Every You

The deeper I go
The deeper I sink
Weightless but heavy
My heart starts to speak

Tangled in you
My mind is a mess
It's torn and exposed
Like open flesh.
Form: Ode

Maybe it's the bad boy attraction 
Maybe it's the need to spice up her life
Maybe it's the fire of her self defence mechanism 
That keeps her tangled in his angle

My Guardian Angel

Smudge of dirt
upon his cheek.
Scratch on his left knee.
Curly hair
a tangled mess.
Reminding me
~ of me.
Poorest  soul~
who drew the lot:
My guardian to be!

Premium Member Sir Jonathan Smoot

Here lies Sir Jonathan Smoot
Unfortunately wearing only one boot,
He tangled with an alligator
And failed to say, “I’ll see you later!”

Still Unknown

Twisted; you're a mystery
Unraveled; turned out a misery
Tangled; you're undefinable
Deciphered; near yet unreachable
Discovered; I love you
Ended; I watch you go
