Like a Tumor

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

Fear presses, cold steel
Constricting thought, killing love. 
Freedom paralysed.
A swallow with tethered wings
Longing for the Sky

She’s a flower tethered Heather -

Carved my heart strings:

Ancient Eyes of the Sun

our souls
are
tethered
to
the stars
while
the
ancient eyes of the sun
guard
the
tomb of the pharaohs
shall
always
remember
who we are

Our Ships While Passing Through

the
sails of
our ships
while
passing through
are 
tethered towards
the 
ancient soul of the ocean blue
you and 
i
now
here
comes the sun

Premium Member Forgotten


My shadow dissolves in surge of silence,
the stream forgets its course.
The silhouette of past wafts to oblivion,
to the forgotten I’m tethered.

Premium Member If

If wishes had the strength of will, 

I think I'd not be lonesome, still.

If longing could give flight to wing,

my tethered heart would soar and sing.

Premium Member Shackled and Alone

How silent lies a lone ghost ship
that lists, tethered to its mooring 
having run aground inside a
dying dream, now distant.

A Man

A man is never happy until he truly dies,
Only in a man's dreams is he free,
A man without a woman is tethered by truth,
A man with a woman is comforted by lies.

Hopes and Dreams Fade the Same

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

Kites

Tethered to little reason

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.

What Say You

Teary eyes, smile on your lips,
What anguish you’re trying to hide?
Tethered to fate, fettered to life,
What freedom you’re seeking?



~A Brian Strand contest

What It Is

Half of mine,
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.

Premium Member Sabbath's Moon Rises

Tethered to the sun
    a downhill racer
  these short Autumn days

  finishing her course
    in a blaze of glory...

  Sabbath's moon rises
    to greet us
   ~ Shabbat Shalom

bound and tethered
held strong with grievous filaments
i struggled not
feeling the futility
and the masterful illusion of my jaundiced mind
she holds me captive
on the turntable of despair

Premium Member Soft Yellow

Soft yellow illuminates gray clouds
Like a conch shell weathered
'Pon a cold cloudy winter beach
Sitting alone tethered  

Haven't decided if to go on or not
Maybe finis' or maybe not

Tethered, Weathered and Feathered

Tethered, Weathered and Feathered


Whom is that man who got tethered?
Looks like he is overly well weathered
Oh my, he really, really got feathered.

The feel of an infant's touch grasping mom's finger tightly, as it pulls and tugs upon her heartstrings, eternally tethered to both the heart and soul; together; they are one.

Premium Member Forces Unperceived

Hollow tin-cup chess pieces 
tethered to fate are we
manipulated by forces
   unperceived
landing abruptly in
   alien territories
naïve suppositions
   blown to bits 
on the wreckage of empires
