Short Unencumbered Poems

Liberating wind
Unbound and unencumbered
Flowing naturally
Distant from an opaque past
Running freely to anew...

Listen to poem:

Stop, reflect, imbibe.
Fill the mind with diverse flood 
from unencumbered
smorgasbord buffet sources.
A mindful present tense tick....

Do you believe consciousness
a free state
Choice empowering the moment
strong
Neurons firing at your
discretion
Time unencumbered
—reality won

spiritual luna moth
delicately free
leaving your body behind

nothing can confine you now
heading toward 
everywhere

soulfully happy
unencumbered in every way
death a happy release...

What we cannot let go, does not let us go, until, as forgiver, our forgiveness frees our emotions and thoughts to exist unencumbered.

We always question, why
When a soul, says goodbye

Misunderstanding death, we fear it
Its sole purpose, to free our spirit

Thus, unencumbered of flesh and bone
It returns to heaven, which is home

Intricate thoughts escape
An intricate mind;
Flow in and out
Of a spirit divine.
Time dwells in this dimension
But a soul is free to soar
To heights unknown,
Unencumbered by restraints
Endowed on this earthly plane....

Listen to poem:

skin soft, giving
ego plump, accepting
talk embellished, aware
mind a sponge, absorbing
resolve earnest, resolute
awareness listening, agile
love unencumbered, bubbling
debate boisterous, hearkening

heaven can wait, 
not done...

Just in time for annal's first
Anthem of recovery from decadence
Nonsense summer shed, duty toes
Unencumbered line forward, pale impaled
Arctic abyss shrouds frozen flame
Regrets only as almost good intentions
Yields to hibernation of resolve.

Travelling through space with wings open wide  
the eagle takes to flight in the evening gloaming 
Tenebrosity of dark, coatings thick as matter 
clinging to the tips of His feathered rise,   
the aviator soars,
freely unencumbered by night...

In a melancholic haze
slow moving
breath is laboured
through this time
heavy days
that are numbered
till by this thick air between us
I am unencumbered
till I can love you
my passion
present you my zenith
before you I will bloom
with the power of Venus...

When love is 
unencumbered and 
free to grow as it will, 
it is like 
an exquisite flower, 
its blossom
unfolding in the sun. 
But if it is not 
nurtured 
and tended, 
the flower withers 
and dies
and there is 
nothing left 
except
fallen petals 
on the ground....

Mischievous flint spark 
razes lethargy’s prison 
igniting joy’s fuse.


Majestic maple 
sheds summer’s scarlet dreams 
naked but for hope


Frolicsome breeze 
unencumbered by custom 
transports wisdom’s seeds


Still morning lagoon 
shimmers cosmic buoyancy 
atop deep pure peace....

In my dreams, freed
are my tethered feet,
unencumbered, above I soar
   where eagles dare,
        effortlessly,
      in a world of
sugar dusted mountain tops,
   where oh so sweetly,
 whispered, airy breaths
    gently lift me
  higher and higher
above anything imagined
       on earth...

If is posted such a popular number
  (as 'Time for a Break')
when dearest muse slumbers
  I may try something to numb her
    ~ My conscience unencumbered...

Of course, now she's fully awake
  I can no longer be a snowflake
She's back from her resort on the lake
   ~ Time for a poetic outbreak...

Think of yourself as Gold
Fashioned in a star
Blazing bright
Untarnished no matter 

Think of yourself as Enduring
Reliable as the star
Shining light
Unhurried no matter

Think of yourself as Wonder
Conceived in love
Born perfect
Unencumbered by strife

Think of yourself as Beautiful

I seek the sky
It passes by
But is it still?
I won't know until
The day I stop
Perhaps cloud hop
Figure out the days
Minus haze
Review my mind
Unencumbered by time
Sort and stack, decide what to throw out
Get rid of stuff, mainly self doubt
It's a shame how late that'll be
Too late for me
I could... no
Just let it go...

Basking in the beauty that is the night
Lovers embrace within dreams delight
Thoughts intertwine in each other’s arms
Succoring peacefulness, knowing no harm
A blissful respite from this earthly realm
Where worries smother and life overwhelms
Reconnecting thru wanderings in depths of slumber
For it’s here spirits thrive in time unencumbered...

Ecstasy

E xcited emotions and exhilarated thoughts
C ombine to produce a feeling of
S ustained pleasure beyond human measure
T otally bared of stress and anxious care
A ssociated with the mundane existence
S uperlative joy and unencumbered bliss
Y ou feel while contemplating nature's resplendency.

Spiders.
If they we are gone tomorrow
they will rule the lands.
Building webs as
large as oak trees.
No humans in their way.
Their webs will
intimidate any rabbits
or snakes that survive.
They will catch them
up and feed on them
for weeks, unencumbered,
undisturbed, feeding
slowly and with 
spider-like delight.
If we are gone tomorrow....

My heart sings soprano 
As my muse and I face
A pristine white page

Both of us exhilarated
We look forward to 
A day of unencumbered hours


Our excited imagination tears it up
Tossing down cartoons 
Scribbling poem after poem

My right hand can barely keep up
As my soul slashes feelings across the pages
Creating faster than my mind can catch up...

they wanted someone more responsible
hardly anyone noticed my absence
my demise was quite unremarkable
I offered absolutely no response
imagine they laugh a whole lot less since
they failed to understand the real me
unencumbered and completely carefree
spread my ashes to the southernly winds
I know exactly where I want to be
the end is a start, excitement begins...

Lighthouse

Time on the ocean uninspired  
The lighthouse beams immortalized
Reaching out forever, tranquility
Holding sky, sea, unencumbered 

Keepers watch gradual gravitation's 
Storm Forces, the ingredients 
The elements congregate, obedience
Lighthouse walls definable, unflappable 



Created by: Earl Schumacker on 9/23/13 for Lighthouse- Poetry contest...

How swiftly the seasons change
Years like rivers flow unencumbered
Towards eternity’s vast and opened arms
And engulfed are these compelling streams
Forever to recline in the annals of time

Autumn’s leaves of burnt orange and red
Now lay beneath purest first snow
And merge with the color of earth
As silence hovers amidst brisk air
Nature, worn and weary, slumbers

Certainty

In 
our cultural cloudiness
we believe that there 
is no certainty..
When beliefs are raised
there are retorts of doubt..
Some reluctantly and
grudgingly admit that
their beliefs are carriers
of doubt..
So where do we go
to find a certainty
unencumbered..?
Perhaps all we need is
 an experience of blue sky 
standing in clarity behind
those clouds of belief......
