Short Unboxed Poems

Mind games,
They make us think,
The norm is not the norm,
Our thought patterns are being changed,
Unboxed....

Listen to poem:

It's easy to be in kind
    cruelling self to denial.
Harder to step up, unboxed.
But why must you beg, aplogise
   for stuffing your ego with struts,
   standing up, off your knees;
   self supported, doing your own stuff....

  A gentle kiss, sent love to her forehead,
unmatched to the unboxed dozen of roses. 

Silence, comforted by re-assuring smiles,
they danced together, to their last hoorah. 

A lover's tear, slid in the face of fear ~
will she remember who she was, before him?

A call from a nephew here
A text from children, not near
It takes so little, these days
Be grateful always, He says

Another day on planet earth
Forget the shape of my girth
A place to work called home
A world in which I cannot roam

For these things, Him I thank
With every breath, I am more frank
No more secrets between us, at all 
Falsehoods before the omniscient will fall...

Ominous fear, hate of formless things,
squirms unbidden
to the surface of an unboxed grave
worming its way upward.

Fear not
are worms not of God?
Give shape the formless fears.
Disperse the miasma.
Confront the horror,
known and unknown
for are they not all creations of God?

Drive forward on butterfly wings
leave the cocoon of fear
the worms discontent.
Free mind and spirit
from the villains of despair
let sunshine flow 
through the arteries of man....
