Parts missing; untangling ethereal strands. - - - - - - - (C) John C Michaels, 27 August 2017

Premium Member Fickle

Fickle moods
swing
skewing the cornerstones
of poetic view
like a ball of string
poets try
untangling
knotted questions
to find answers
which give meaning
to beliefs

Premium Member As Dusk Arrives

***
             Night
            unpins
         her dark hair

       untangling stars
  as Dusk sets the Sun 
      down in the Sea 

        She'll comb it
            while he 
             sleeps...

Premium Member A Length of Time

combing my unkempt hair
unraveling years of not caring
my freedom knotted with reckless abandon
untangling each strand of dissatisfaction
cutting as curls fall away
each length a strand of injured time

He Hath Little Faith

Twisted faith yields no mercy.
Blood makes the Devil thirsty.
And just as Lucifer once fell, 
Man created his own hell,
While jumping slightly at the sound of a bell.
In the distance the church sings,
Bringing peace, the bell rings,
Untangling the harp strings,
And with it mending the angel’s broken wings.


Premium Member Daydream

Ambient noise, the silent song of day,
TV static, and this high pitched ring.
Creating a vision through bloodshot eyes,
A vacant gaze meeting solemn void's stare.

Dreaming those vivid details as they play,
Savoring each moment and bitter sting.
Knotting and untangling all the ties,
From disposable camera that we share.

Premium Member O Christmas Tree

'Tis that time again to bedeck the tree with decorations!

   Untangling the string of lights is one of my annual frustrations!

      Naughty words are said but when all is said and done, you'll,

         Happily declare that sans a Christmas tree it wouldn't be a Yule!

Uncoloured

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.

Labyrinths of Baggage

Baggage within 
      trappings of illusions,
love packed away
  in neat little compartments
gathering cobwebs at
     makeshift improvisations, 
dusting intermittently
      if by chance a light
           should shine,
never wholly untangling 
    the snare
mid a labyrinth of
      transparent entrapment,  
as violin strings continue
      to unlatch the same old key

Only Men Know

When I awake in the morning
The sun shining in your sweet face
Smelling your pure sweet woman musk

Untangling from your clinging arms
Running my hands through your dark hair
Looking close at your fine mustache

My elbow knocks a Champagne glass
The sound of the cheap flute breaking
Stirs your celluloid bubbled tail

Good morning my sweet Vegas love

Premium Member Untangling the Christmas Lights

Christmas lights were my downfall said the sorry cat
I thought I could string them, why did I think that?
They were tangled up from the get-go, it was not my fault.
I had retrieved them from a wicked witch’s vault.

those Christmas lights were magical, and mean in many ways
It took me sixteen years and seventeen extra days
to disentangle the lights; it was a chore beyond belief.
It took most of the best years of my life, said that cat, Beef.

Premium Member Secret Battles- -- Silent Wars

Secret Battles—Silent Wars

 

Telling my secret battles

Celebrating the untold wars

Unfolding my choicest memories

Surfing the virgin’s pathways

Rhyming sacred hymns

Recalling stolen graces

Unveiling the hidden shadows

Parting the puffy clouds

Unmasking the hidden faces

Untangling woven phases

Quelling our sumptuous yearnings

Quieting every inner wailing

Quailing at the broken words

Stoking my ethereal flame
