Short Tangles Poems

While the hair she twirls

Tangles with a wilful storm,

She creates kiss curls....

with her toddler lisp
sister tangles lullabies
baby brother yawns

Unveiled world
Antics out of control
Tangles of darkness
Ravaging souls under
Cold craterous moon...

A sigh
through silent grass 
at noon, as knee-high green 
falls down in tangles. Then again
silence....

LIFE

The road of life twists and coils
Occasionally doubling back on itself
Threaded through convoluted 
Tangles of happiness and pain...

riding the web
she is a spider
and weaves a web
for the next meal

as trapped in her tangles
you have no chance of escape
she mummified you
for the next meal...

It is the most famed
Left wanting to be felt 
Seldom well spelt 
Often blamed 
Forever in tangles 
tamed

Most spoken and
Least understood 

It is to Love ......

We came together.
It was a fight. I won
then lost.
Love tangles winners and losers.
Limbs tangle,
struggle,
climax inside an eggshell.
We won
but not each other....

glistening snowflake
falling softly in tangles
spiders will catch them

I love when shadow splits
and bitter silhouetted
form gangs of better self
intangible tangles
and breaths of star
become the tributaries
of Bit
frost
The space in reality
where i once dwelt...

There's a girl in the graveyard that never seems to leave.
She hangs like dust in the autumn air.
She has beautiful flowers and tangles in her hair.
When it seems she's right there, she's nowhere....

Abort it.
And fast
Says the bleeding
Mother. 

Of two 
Twins, Alex
and I
We find the 
Solstice
Even more 
Comforting than 
Most. 

And, so what? 
Your cords, 
Your tangles,
and your serpeants
Cannot kidnap,
imprison or 
Stain my will....

I
Tangles
Life in bang - les and jangles
One angle
Unravels the tangles
One bang - le at a time

II
My only angle 
Of untying any tangle
Is to hop on Faith - plane
Even if time made it a debris jungle
Faith rescues me every time...

Pushing past the tangles of imagery 
faded torn things better left unknown 
broken toys and metronomes tones 
scattered after a Wars drone 
the voices of infancy 
the pain 
the violence 
a loss of innocence 
pushing pass the imagery!...

Moon’s song torments the sleeping blooms’ fluorescent shine,

The petals fall from the tangles of frantically grasping vines, 

Life fades from such speak-less beauty as death entwines,

Into my home now forever lost; and yet never mine…...

His mindfulness led me
Through a labyrinthine maze
Rambling sinuous thoughts
Planted in thorny tangles
A wandering elegance
Baffling in its simplicity
Mazelike in its meanderings
A wise and twisting serpent
Entangled in the complexities
Of its naivety...

In a deepened streaks of quick darkness,
Pale of  muddy algae
Crawl out along loopholed weeds -
In tangles of puffed cotton
And spiders' webs spread out
Caught 'midst lamb's fiber
As it  wanders by meadow trails

Blowing a  Kiss 

When irksome day, off tangles, comes unstuck
As  the  sun, behind a blushing sea, ducks 
Thoughts  of you I sorely miss
Pep  me up to blow this kiss
To find you stooping , a red rose, to pluck.

Femininity claimed her loveliness fair
As stood their castle aside the arcane sea
Brushing the tiny tangles from her soft 
Silkened hair and our eyes did meet...
This waltz amid the silent silver glass
Meant to be's her endless love, reflects
Our lips they meet; kisses, a palace of pink....

Trembling nerves born
The anxiety, dread, jealousy, scorn
And lover's touch to bring it back
To full persuasion, tempted assault

Gravity tangles in its throw away nest
A culture that produces garbage spinning
As spiritual pride unsettles, infests
We are called to lift
Reach up and achieve our mist...

god is a
diry boy
the earth is
his rubber toy
bouncing thru
the skies
miracles are
tangible-
tangles in the
hair
the devil is
a double dare
ever present
everywhere
each person is
a mind
lost items you
can never find
messy as the air
we breathe
despair in which 
the angels seethe...

So good at going through the motions 
Lose my wits when im with you
You flush my cheeks
and grab my hand
Foggy eyes I fall for you
Twisted ankles you got me stationed 
Here I'll stand 
Just hold my hand
Jello heart
Salt and tangles
You got me here, my love in chambers
Locked up at ease just as you please...

Wind chimes dangle
Random sweet sounds,
Stray breeze tangles
Tunes that now pound.


Joy styles deep heart
With finesse here,
Love moves clear art
To mellow near.


Act with crisp tact
To channel bright,
Fact aligns pact
In that clear light.

Clinging
climbing the walls
cracks and burrows
dodging mangles and tangles
dead ends
no bends
fire and ice
and ice hurts more
once twice thrice
but hey!
dismount
assess
access
I'm a mess
creak crack
(yes my crack hurts too)
broken back
arms dragging sagging and blue
but hell I'm here!
and hail that too!...
