A ribbon of words....

Futile shouts in the valley
My soul flash frozen...

unraveled
its little threads
as it came undone
at the seams...

    —the truth of its magic exposed

Mixed up
Unraveled here
Scattered around
Confusion about him
A man looks towards defeat
All twisted

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...

A white beard
The shred of whiskers
Tossed about
The unraveled hairs
Tenderly expressed

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...

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...

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...

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....

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!

A redness
is undone now.

Unraveled,
With regret
not as absent
as you.

Hollow and
Feverish, I 
retreat into
nothingness.

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

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....

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....

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....

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...

Truth unraveled and told 
Help us all Lord
To find your truth 
Oh! Father God as we aspire
To be clothed in your righteousness, 
while seeking you higher

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!

Listen to poem:

Why does your cat only have nine lives?
The cat o'nine whip has three strands
Plaited cords unraveled thrice
Nine to three, three to three.
Cat plays bold for three
Strays for next three,
Stays in for
last three
hides...

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
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...
