Trageday

When the wicked
Grow
Unchecked
When deadly children
Howl
As they
Prowl

For a promise she can’t keep

Sweet dreams
Are sweet
No more.

Veritable Love

Their passion  so unchecked--
                               He dried her tears
                               Before the sorrows struck

          tempt fate, shipwreck

the sultry masquerade of night
kindles a vibrant, fevered blush

blooms blissfully in gloaming’s trance

Premium Member Municipalities Fiddle

Hey diddle-diddle
  Municipalities fiddle
Crime goes unchecked
  Voters' nerves are wrecked

Inflation soars still higher
  Blue-ribbon committees enquire...

Horizon

the horizon
is where no one has ever reached
but many blind ones
spend lifetime struggling
to touch it.

this horizon
every soul desires unchecked
is elusive and unkind
the faster it is approached
the faster it runs away

Filling The Balloon

Do you know
many things
understanding
not one

Portending 
your weakness
pretense
on the run

The trash bin
of knowledge
refills
left unchecked

Pontificate
dirges
spout off
— to infect

Premium Member Zen mode

as the dreamer and dreamed 
both subject and the object 
all that matters is love’s vibrance
bliss radiance rising unchecked

to this end our will we bend
melding head with the heart
thus simply softening attention
we feel within ignition start

Premium Member Crazy Lovers

Our rampant youth,
was filled with 
uninhibited emotions,
lusty moments,
and romantic liaisons.

We sought excitement 
and flirted with danger.

Damn the consequences.

Those unchecked emotions
have lasted many years
and we still have time to go.

Premium Member Stay Weird

When did being weird
become politically incorrect?

When were old rules disappeared,
and new ones appear unchecked?

I will not be commandeered 
into a social engineering project!

I will dance with being weird,
and the devil take your circumspect!

Freudian Slips of the Tongue

many a foot in month 
statement uttered  
wish that they could 
be taken back but 
they never can be 
many an unintentional
tactless remark were
thoughtlessly 
abruptly bluntly 
blurted out during 
unchecked moments 
of Freudian slips of the 
tongue

Dying Legions

Training the enemy within,
  universities soldier on

Unchecked and unaccountable
  
They march to the beat of the 
  government drum

Tearing us apart from the inside

While Rome burns 
  —and Legionnaires die

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2014)

Premium Member Cessation

As both the subject and object,
how may we awake in the dream,
if fears and desires rise unchecked,
lowering our soul’s self-esteem?

Cessation is the only way,
to exit the game of shadows,
looking at this life, as mere play,
dancing in God’s fragrant meadows.

Premium Member The Tenor of the Time

     The democratic West 
        opts for the collective mind
        in thrall to the tenor of the time

     But terrorism unchecked
        ‘s’ always a losing bet

     ‘Cos you don’t need some ‘great reason’
        ~ Fighting terror’s always in season

Be As It May

Tender tears pass slowly across a cheek.
Emotions leave unchecked.
It is a beginning. It is the end.
Wayfarer, how do you go?
Leave me be but say something.
Anything as my finger touches.
The silky wet. 
A journey. A passing.
Try. Stop. I am your just.
Seems pleasant somehow.

Premium Member Vibrant emptiness

Making void centric our soul’s stance,
prioritising God-connect,
bliss beats rise and nodes within dance,
tempestuous, wild and unchecked.

Once we become empty and pure,
in staid stillness, fate quirks endure,
granting throb of love right of way,
we garner bliss that’s here to stay.

Purple Haze

The lucid moments are becoming less frequent
When they do arrive, thoughts pour in unchecked
The few that can be tied down create new life
Then the fog descends, obscuring all
Make the most of the good times, for 
One day the fog will lift and there will be nothing
But a vacuum filled with screams

Premium Member Tossing Out Regret

I’ve decided to be rid of some things:

	a moth-holed sequined dress with bitter tags,
	the weeping journal of ennui and pain,
        the mocking trophy case of trophied dust,
        proud calligraphed to-do lists left unchecked.

Let them shout accusations from the curb!

Premium Member Acorn-Utopia

Why me?  Alone.
At edge
Of decimated deciduous
Sanctuary destroyed.
I long for boughs
Now taken
Ringed history
Sacrificed
On the altar
Of a paved future.
I am the hope
Of a backyard rope swing
A Robin's nest
A squirrel's sustenance.
I shall ride
The muddy flow
Of unchecked runoff
Sink deep my roots
And grow.

Sir Cumference of Camelot

Sir Cumference of Camelot
Could eclipse the sun in the sky
With the bulk of his obesity
Though he didn’t know why
His physician warned him that
Left unchecked he would die
But he had a hearty appetite
And that was the reason why
Sir Cumference of Camelot
Could eclipse the sun in the sky
And the immensity of his girth
Was caused, by too much pi

Premium Member Poem As Surrogate

Poem as Surrogate
                    by Odin Roark

Streaming messenger
With expression unchecked
Imagined ink yet to dry
The page fearful of touch
Find the eyes
Beneath which awaits the meaning

For

This frame that lives also as picture
One's fleeting first-person impulse
A captured inner focus shared
Clings tenaciously
To the world's lenity
Every poet's temporary forever
