the steady
hands of the wind
untangled the fire red
leaves of autumn...

This knot in my chest
won’t untie itself
And I know that 
I’m the only one who can untangle this mess...

One last love,
Dares me my long lasting gasp
With our hearts clicked, 
Untangled the clasped past...

her wash came out all entwined~she calmly untangled and didn't whine

Locks untangled slide freely over life giving, affirming white glow.
The indentation along the spines contours,
head moved forward, leant, exposed nape,
the very essence of, in archetype....

I’ve got a penny whistle
I made it out of tin
I wander through the thistle
And traipse across the glen
A tune for bonnie lassie
On this wee flute I built
Soon as I get untangled
From the briars in my kilt...

Woe am I to whom your words have torn bits
Out from my heart only to smooth, console	
Until I have again untangled wits.
Needful, I beg you patch this jagged hole
Drilled into my heart by your darkened soul....

beautiful desire
set on fire
one way dreams
not what it seems
conflicted confusion
untangled in lies
lieing deep down
burning insides
imagination 
determination
dare to dream
being pulle at the seams
place someone elses smile
pull you through the extra miles...

Bewitched and driven mad
Hearing many voices
Taking on even more personalities
Being led by hirelings
Tossed to and fro
With every wind and doctrine
Caught, bleeting in thickets
Waiting to hear the Shepherd's voice
Sheep hear it and know it
And get untangled
A stranger they will no longer follow...

Love came 
in scented tingles, 
waking up
the tongues

of lust. The Lips 
in a topsy-turvy 
pandemonium, 

sleepy souls giggling
in erotic jubilation. Ah, the night 
untangled, the morning dews 
bathe the earth’s skin, 

while our 
throbbing hearts rest 
in the sweat sodden bed, still longing......

Alive at long last
I truly feel again
I can live untangled
And surely not bound
Along the river
Flowing freely
Casting no doubt
Within the shadows
I hold my life
To control once again
To be the one
Who laughs
I’ve gone through hell
I never will again
I’m in charge now
Of my own life

I lost sensation where the madness would swell.
Swirling softly with the petals of time.
In a wind very cold and I could tell
It would strengthen with every breath of mine.
I called for my voice and I summoned these thoughts.
With shaking hands I untangled the knots 
And between my fingers slipped the ribbons of truth...

Microbit dazzled-
How fingertips poised
Can arouse
Wet petals
From stoic roots
now thought
untangled, is but
Data gleaming
With invitation
Stars unveil their codes
Catch 
Photon beams
And lofty
Caribbean dreams
I dance
At the edge of time
Where gravity fades
dirt all nonsense
We dig passion fruit
From sumptuous screens
finding 
melting release...

A Mustang and a Thunderbird tangled

   Both automobiles were badly mangled

      When the cops sorted it out

         There was seen strewn all about

            Horse manure and feathers when untangled

Uncoloured
Untailored
Unzipped
Untied
Unmasked
Untangled

I am unidentified, for no-one can claim to know the depth of my well.
I am no coloured frame of happiness.
I am no tailored garment.
I am not a zipped up pants
I am not a perfectly tied up ponytail.
I am masked with flaws yes.
I am untangling myself from a deeper web.

I am too uncoloured to fit....

The threads
totally mine
responsibility
not to tangle

The threads
can't be tangled 
into hard knots at all
at any time

Colors
red, blue, and gold
embroidered together
untangled threads

Tangled vines kept closed the door
that led into the secret garden
the small girl very patiently
one by one untangled them

It took her oh so very long 
until at last they were all free
slowly, and so excitedly she
opened the door and peered

Her eyes wide as saucers
as she beheld the beauty
a stunning garden decked 
with flowers made of jewels

You’ve swallowed my misery, 
My old self, just by a smile;
By letting me feel the mountains move, 
You’ve freed me, just by a smile;
My twisted thoughts,
Have been untangled by you, with just a smile;
I offer my body and soul to you, O my words whisperer,
You’ve whispered me a new life, just by a smile;
I offer myself to you O, Jamlaila,
You’ve made me your man, just by a smile....

over there..>
lost time leaking away

collapse not into temptation
grant me/us peaceful solitude 
deliver us/me from erratum
inert/confined/lost
entangled in a weary knot
buried in dusty debris
suffocated by icy cobwebs
burned & frozen
begging for deliverance
longing for liberation
yearning to be untangled
thunder over water
deliverance?

lost life leaking into the past

Seekers who seek
Seeker shall find
Just in time
For the seeker to unwind
The secret to untangle
The tangled mind
He or she who seeks
Must wait in line
To untangle the rope
To untangle the line
Some which are thick
And some which are fine
Some belong to you
And others are mine
So, Ye Seek
And Ye shall find
Just in time
To untangle the rope
To untangle the line
That patiently waits
In the now
Untangled mind...

There white limbs of lighting 
reaching out with hope across a river of 
tears dangeling over the edge of no fear.
The height was more than i 
could bear I was snatched in mid air.
I knew I could cope if I could get
untangled from the quivering limbs of 
lighting,AS I was looking thru 
the mirror of fears thru my tears.
A decision to leap for faith or 
jump for life,Shivering in my boots 
I jumped,Now I reap my rewards...

The workings of the hidden world
By the poet are revealed
The heart’s untangled in a verse
The secrets are unsealed
The poet paints a picture 
In timeless light it glows
The beauty of the language
Is captured yet it flows
He’s expressing hidden feelings
And the value in all things
Can you hear the melody
The song the poet sings
Elegance and timelessness
For others to be blessed
He’s capturing for all to see
What cannot be possessed...

I've got myself in a tangle

involved in a love triangle

my love is quite sincere

fond of one and fond of tother

I'm in such a lot of bother

i do love them both dear.



if only i could choose which one

my life untangled with one gone

can't be without any

tangled webs get complicated

should have been just one I dated

love jenny and penny,

Lighting
There white limbs of lighting 
reaching out with hope across a river of 
tears dangeling over the edge of no fear.

The height was more than i 
could bear I was snatched in mid air.

I knew I could cope if I could get
untangled from the quivering limbs of 
lighting,AS I was looking thru 
the mirror of fears thru my tears
.
A decision to leap for faith or 
jump for life,Shivering in my boots 
I jumped,Now I reap my rewards.

My mind can be complex, but I love simplicity
A single flower can make my day
Somehow nature, helps me find my way
A bird in flight, takes me along so free

When thoughts need to be untangled to clear,
I find my special places to be
Where there is only peace and serenity
Nothing but comfort around me, near!

Love carries me on flights of inspiration
Genuine laughter heals me
There is always a way to something new
From all this blooming aspiration!
