Short Unmapped Poems

A land of destruction 
With unmapped sense of direction 
Fire set with singular flames 
Powerful wind gone untamed 
Mother nature's worst possession...

a shield of silver
rises in starlight to guard
an eternal kiss
on a lover’s path unmapped   
Orion’s ardent sky glows

The quiet peace where webs of sleep enrapture,
in twilight thought - the precipice of dreaming.
It's there, the unmapped thresholds of conception
begin to splay within a sultry slumber
the embryos of covert premonitions......

Adrift, adrift (my usual trip)
In icy, unmapped sea,
A splintered spar my only ship—
I clutch it willfully.

Afloat, afloat, each nerve alive, 
I brave what is to be,
Instead of cowering, to but survive
On land, secure, not free....

Lost in the miles, lost in the smiles,
the road calls out my name

Throttle in hand, a beckoning land,
no two days then the same

Direction unmapped, my nose to attack,
what’s never been before

Fate rides ahead, making my bed
—the wind to know for sure

(Limon Colorado: August, 2019)...

My feelings well up from inside
Suppressed no more, this side
Every deed now with emotion
The balm of a healing lotion

Stuck no more in sterile talk
I am on the freedom walk 
Free from being trapped
Now in territory, unmapped

What do I now really feel?
Like a rewound movie reel
Like a volcano rumbling
Buried feelings now bubbling...

The winding road goes on
You can see it so long
There are plans you made
Hoping to make the grade

But what are you to do
Except to follow it through
Sometimes it seems too long
As you travel sing a song

In some parts it may be unmapped 
But it is only a matter of fact
So just do your best
The road will take care of the rest.
