Your phoenix tattoo
Etched in inks, black, red and blue. 
Firebird for Firebrand. 
Risen, emancipated, 
Unshackled from broken love....

unshackled
           unburdened

  A NEW DAY IS DAWNING!

           shame-free
           blame-free

  LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND!

          morality-free
             yippee!...

Tremble my soul
   Ere the dawn awakens

Laid down immutably stressed
   Risen up unshackled, lustrous and blessed

Daily miracles performed above
   Bind us here on Earth with Eternal Love...

These splintered heavy thorns,
Shardlike that scatter round,
Entrapped in endless turmoil,
The need to ascend the abyss.

To mend back the unmended,
Unwind the twists of fate,
Break free of mental slavery,
Be unshackled of worldly chains....

Take not holy name in vain,
more so if pleading for gain
but simply be, here carefree,
unshackled from our mind tree.

We are the pulse that renews,
life’s beauteous bliss beat hues,
so let the waves come and go,
keeping aflame our heart’s glow....

Dreams unshackled by sleep 
A shooting star by campfire light 
Miles unhindered by a voice 
A lakeside stroll in day’s last light

Music shared within two hearts
A dance alone but never lonely
Laughter washes over sorrows
A love not lost as mine and only...

Having limited soul’s light,
why do we lament our plight,
when in truth we’re always free,
once unshackled from mind’s tree?

Our heart knows God dwells inside,
so as thoughts rise and subside,
we witness both ebb and flow,
vibrant, blissful and aglow....

captive,
                     confined, trapped
           taking, ransoming, struggling
enslaved, bondage, exemption, clearance
        liberating, evacuating, unlocking
                  exempt, unshackled
                                  free

Unshackled love
The kind that’s so free
Nothing’s the limit
Anything will go on
Feelings flow towards one another
Uniting them together
Being under one heart
Harboring all their love as one
Sharing is mutual
To separate is impossible
Melted together united
Love makes them complete

silvered fractals vibrate wildly
eight-legged creature watches
butterfly wings ripping, tearing strands

scanning, strumming, threads too heavy
Arachnoid instantly focused 
spider's supper waits ahead

slow down, too fast, too quick
silently struggling, finally unshackled
soaring, gliding floats free...

Lust is like the salt of the sea. 
The artificial Ambrosia or Siren's fomented Mead.
Augmenting thirst, the more you drink. 
Forgetting the drink came first. Then came a thirst.
To be unshackled to idols in idle mutiny.
Before the fermentation of idolatry. Figureheads, 
flotsam and shipwrecks on the seven stormy seas....

P unchbowl of literature
O ffering gifts of
E loquence and rhetoric
T his emancipation of candour
R evitalized in common goals when
Y ielding seeds of open-mindness

S pecifications spontaneously unshackled
O pression outlawed; this is indeed the
U nreservenly unremittingly
P alace of purposefulness!

Without a second look, I burnt the book
For all words did was to muddle my mind
My heart has now broken free of it’s shell
And in wholeness of being I’m love aligned 

Like an arm or leg, mind too is but a limb
So I do employ it but only when needed
My spirit is free and celebrates aliveness
Divine entwined, my will to God conceded...

Poetry soup
Offering gifts of 
Eloquence and rhetoric 
This emancipation of candour 
Revitalized in common goals when 
Yielding seeds of open-mindfulness

Specifications spontaneously unshackled 
Oppression outlawed; this is indeed the 
Unreservedly unremittingly 
Punchbowl of purposefulness and literature.

Finally unshackled from our mind tree,
living mindfully, thoughts, words and deeds just,
we attained freedom to such a degree,
that transfixed in rapture of bliss beat thrust,
with love pulsations, choosing to agree,
magnetism filled organic form of dust.
Having attained that that may not be named,
we beheld light of soul, pure and unstained....

drooping flowers crave water 
when sunshine is not enough

freedom craves equality
when unshackled is insufficient

falling rain sees not what it rejuvenates 
falling equally on all it touches

though blind
as an albino bat
raining justice poops
choices as she pleases:

unbalanced scales
a juxtaposed metaphor
of the equality of blindness...
