Screw Etiquette

Today is an American folk event 
Unraveled by traditions and etiquette 
Vixens ask men on a date
Women hoping to find a mate
Sadie Hawkins Day we celebrate

Still Unknown

Twisted; you're a mystery
Unraveled; turned out a misery
Tangled; you're undefinable
Deciphered; near yet unreachable
Discovered; I love you
Ended; I watch you go

The Seam Unseamed

once on the swing I noticed a seam 
in the sky it wasn't a dream 
because it been seen it unseamed 
everything unraveled 
even the swing and me 
I'll miss that swing

I Smiled

Days to night
Nights to day

Flowers Bloom
And petals fall

The sun does rise
As the monsoons fall

Twists and turns
the roads we travel

I smiled
The mysteries unraveled

Silence

She wrapped her gift
  of outstretched arms
In passionate embrace
  of myriad charms.

He turned away
  He spurned her prayer
Love unraveled--
  Dread silence shared.

Road Less Traveled

My plans for a road that's less traveled are looking a little unraveled; inflation is roaring and fuel costs are soaring... Yikes, six hundred bucks for the gravel!

Scarlet

A redness
is undone now.

Unraveled,
With regret
not as absent
as you.

Hollow and
Feverish, I 
retreat into
nothingness.

Temptation Wins

A basket of red yarn balls
     fell to the floor and scattered.
          Temptation was just too great -
               kitty unraveled.

Headlines

i unraveled
the newspaper
the suns travels
the days labor.

another rise
another fall
worth the price
after all?

more blood
spilled
kill or be
killed
to fill up our cars
your home must be drilled.

Chagrin

We are becoming 
Unbound 
Our fantasy 
Unraveled 
Sorrow covered words
Of polite regret 
They swallow me up inside 
Wisdom weary
Behind the storm 
We race, reckless 
Towards defeat
This is the death of us.

Playing Leap Frog With the Truth

My heart unraveled.
Like a ball of house cat yarn.
Wish she would have told me sooner.
but I chose to play leapfrog with the truth.

Wish she would have told me sooner.
I don't like sitting in a puddle of hell.

Friend

on this bumpy road which we all travel,
sometimes smooth..sometimes unraveled
the ones I meet along the way
I may not talk to everyday
through the good times and times of strife
a friend for a minute is a friend for life

You

You!
The knot in the shoe string
I can't untie...
The piece of lint that struck
To my dark blue suit...
The thread that unraveled
When I was dressed to a "T"...
The last drop of water
That made my cup overflow!

He Sayeth Gaea Gaea Wrested and Championed

I HAVE SEEN GOD FACE TO FACE
A SATAN HAST WRESTED ME TO NO END
I AM THE GOD THAT HE SPEAKEST OF
THAT HAST WREST LOOSE THE
TALUS
AND NOW I STAND BEFORE THESE
MEN SUPERIOR AND BEST
AND UNRAVELED BY THE APPROACH
OF THOSE WHO WISH ME
UNDONE

A Path Well Traveled

A path well traveled
from a mind that's unraveled

This path of pain
With nothing to gain

I've walked this path of self destruction
Without any mental function

Walking without a friend
With no site in end
I walk this path again and again

Today

Today was such a day!
Troubles seem like miles,
Away! On a path, unraveled.
The sun hid.
Many clouds.
The rain washed;
My tear stained face.
Away! My heart in unison;
Driving rain!


Now: read it in reverse! (Inspired by The Worst Day Ever)

Mistery of Life

All life,
is a mystery,
from the cradle
to the cemetery...!
If that is a problem
in life, that's why
on a higher celestial plane
the unraveled,
The elevation justifies...
Is our relentless pursuit
living life after life...!
Our supreme lesson to learn !

Ash and Dust

Wood and tin,
windows thin,
roads of mud and gravel. 
Noise and fumes, 
the broken tunes, 
of lives that have unraveled. 
The damage done. 
Hope, all but gone. 
Some dust will never settle. 
Now, too late, 
to end the hate? 
What waste our parents struggle.

It could happen to you

thought she had it all
but it was just illusion
one day without warning
the precarious house
of cards collapsed

her world falling to pieces
her life unraveled ~
somehow she trusted
she would find the strength
to pull herself together

Robert Frost and Grand Canyon

Robert Frost and Grand Canyon

What happened was slowly unraveled.
Another road she should have travelled
Instead of into environment blended
And end up on road that dead ended.

How about the woman lost in the snow 
near Grand Canyon and great poem about
Robert Frost I just read. Jim Horn
