An itch in my eye

An unbidden thought, startling

Thus tear met finger...

darting in and out
of shadows
her thoughts
languish unbidden
turning
suicidal...

It came to me unbidden,
A stroke of insight,
A sudden revelation:
There are way too many dogs!...

Feelings…
like wisps of cobwebs clinging,
cannot be shaken away.

They lie there,
unwelcome and unbidden,
Like unwanted guests come to stay....

Scalding winds, cold as ice,
burn away frozen layers.
Drawing raw, unbidden scars,
upon the rugged spires.

Luna Maura arose unexpectedly, unbidden
In the midst of the lake of the waterfall
We recognized the power of this water faerie
Legend had predicted her for thousands of years...

frozen river sleeps

man's desires go unbidden

winter turns her face

somewhere a light shines

somewhere my love is hidden

hiding away unbidden

I cannot remember where

solitude's remorse

I
adore
poetry
that is just there.
Unbidden words fall
in one quiet moment.
Infinite and fathomless,
a journey in a flowing breath.
Oh, sweet fathomless tranquility.
This writing of words is a gift from God....

My ex's birthday will be forever etched in my brain,
Memories of celebrating each year with lobster and champagne.
It's a date today in my mind I wish I could erase,
But it's in my heart unbidden, and has claimed a space....

Each heart has its asks,
Yet most What? comes unbidden!
Inside lie our tasks.

Man’s no island lone,
Archipelago’s the heart!
Yet man enforces wont.

Desire is extant,
Shouldn’t  the What? make
Scarce smiles rampant?...

Love has come unbidden,
the promise between us a delicate flower,
and we are lost in a sea of desire,
as your kisses fall upon my lips,
oh so sweet will be our tomorrows.

Fun times,
I’m having with
bad rhymes.

They come
unbidden. They’re
so dumb.

Will lame     
lines bring this clown
great fame?

Truth come unbidden on the wind,
sins of old encased within,
just ressurection trying,
return, return the dying,
for their mortal sin...
still a crying ,
begin, 
go forth with no more sin,
be comforted in the trying...

Death is fast.
Severe
mean
unkind
Ruins our sense of well being

Throws us up in the air
slams us into walls
Throwing unbidden
feelings at us,

emotions which
we cannot name
There is no name
furious
unfair
unkind
severe
death...

No turning back,
no longing glance,
no nagging whisper of a faint "what if."
I walk
bearing vivid scars,
memory of a strangled life.
The lingering scent of shredded dreams
haunts me, unbidden.
Still I walk,
unbroken and free.

Frozen river sleeps

Man's desires go unbidden

Winter turns her face

Icy channels shows no warmth

Feelings not shown, nor given.

Are there new
              opportunities
              waiting? Will 
             they seek me? 
  Will they flow forth unbidden?
     No! Please lead me, Lord.

DAYBREAK

I see the sun at last
It was waiting for its moment, yet unbidden
Light is cast

So powerful
Now brazen, no longer hidden
At all

To be
Like a wild horse, never ridden
Free

I see the sun at last
Now brazen, no longer hidden
Free...

Brow furrows.
Hand shakes.
   Stay inside,
   a strict voice says.
   No breaks allowed.

Yet uncalled
they slip slide down
   unbidden,
creep out the corners,
wet the lash,
drip the cheek.

Oh dear dear
Another soul leak,
My eyes betraying me
again....

An image comes unbidden
in a quickening flash:
the dark silhouette of
a female, part avian,
upright and still
in a moss-clad marsh,
poised in the luster
of a golden half-sun.
The ongoing joy
of such fleeting thoughts:
a secret skylight
in a 10’ by 12’ room....

Unbidden tears force to submissive lull.
A friend that has left a gift of herself in our hearts
With joyful memories of the past till now
Leaving her beautiful inspiring presence behind.
