for a distant sun
tethered
to the limitations

Tethered to you by an 
Umbilical cord of blame
Massive heart attacks 
Of rejection serrate
Ripping through vagina of hate

A man without a woman is tethered by truth,
A man with a woman is comforted by lies....

my dreams
tethered
on a string
of thoughts

hope flickers
beneath 
clouded mind

wishes adrift
falling fast
on trails
of stars

then fading
within night...

we send our kites aloft

to see them bounce about

and dance to their own rhythms.

So skyward our hopes are sent

to an indifferent god....

My other self
Wind of my loneliness,
Ghost of my heart,

Unknown one
Haven from sorrows
Afterlife of dreams
My tethered one,
One and only, 

Earthly companion....

What anguish you’re trying to hide?
Tethered to fate, fettered to life,
What freedom you’re seeking?

    a downhill racer
  these short Autumn days

  finishing her course
    in a blaze of glory...

  Sabbath's moon rises
    to greet us

A very naughty man
Sometimes I need to be sedated and tethered...
