The breastfed future
  stripped motherlode

The past untethered
  —back on the road

until caught by my soul

Redirected to providence
—anchored and whole

in the middle of the storm--untethered
confused, frightened, sad--every 
storm passes, peace arrives

Drifting off untethered,
  I was caught by my soul

Redirected into providence,
—all pieces again whole

I live in the age of infancy
I experience life anew
Leaving all behind I am wiped clean
Free to love untethered to the pains of the past
I am reborn...

WARMED BY SPRING

               Spring is like a violin with its bow
     My heart warms with brandy glow
My feet float untethered

Of late I feel lost 
untethered and tossed 
like a ship left dead on the sea.
But no need to worry 
for I'm in no hurry 
with a dove flying circles 'round me....

Crowded room
Noisy, talking
Incessant 
Sitting alone

Untethered
Unbothered
Peaceful silence
Found within

Valued space
Invaluable
Abundance
Spirit within...

Adeleke Adeite asks for amour,
Portions of love in a plentiful pour. 
Sharing sweet sighs
And Heavenly highs, 
Fabulous fantasies forevermore.

Physical exhilaration drowns
bony aches,
emotional pain,
intellectual angst,
social discontent,
psychological drama,
hunger pangs.
Untethered my soul soars
thus my heart sings....

In the blink of an eyelash, she had departed
    his moorings untethered, left brokenhearted

  Then I suppose there's no way to prepare
    to hear these four words, 'I never did care'...

Over the horizon
a harp is playing

Its call recurring,
its tone Divine

Beyond the swell,
a calm is waiting

Its breeze untethered
—to flow sublime

Wordsmith master
Intense concentration
Playful muse untethered release
Study missives, marveling at their worth
The erasing, chasing, pacing
Challenging word play self

The clock shattered in smithereens
but I hold on to the time;
time brought me to you
it would forever bond us
Time broke me away from the prison of my false thoughts
and here I remain UNtethered...

The Poetry of time
its present sublime
Each moment by degree
untethered reminds

The Poetry of time
forever refined
Rebirthing the constant
—our essence defined

Cosmological constant …
quintessence confounds
Supernovae as mileposts 
clear and profound
Addition subtraction
their delta expands
An orphan untethered
—the wind through the sand

Pointing his thumb,
two feet close behind

Direction untethered,
new mountains to climb

Hitching tomorrow,
to yesterdays past

To ride in the present
—each moment to last

Little by little, 
	thread by thread, 
	I am becoming untethered.
	My questions trip over one another,
	my thoughts churn and roil.
	A silence that bewilders 
	settles around me like dust. 
	That’s enough of the world for today....

Water cascades down the falls
untethered from protocols.
And gouging out river beds
deposits silt as it spreads.
The sky smiles with a rainbow
and in the mist far below,
water cascades down the falls.

With distance in his voice,
he traveled on the wind

Guitar case for a saddle,
to ride each beckoning whim

A folk tale left untethered,
his melody to claim

Each song an affirmation
—his legend to refrain

Falling raindrops weather rocks
untethered from time and clocks.
Fueling a thirsty earth
water stimulates rebirth.
Vapors condense in the sky,
and in a blink of an eye,
falling raindrops weather rocks.

One whisper...

The forest floor trembles

A path of literal 
mayhem

Untethered to mankind

Strangely eschewing
Frogs, snakes and lizards

"Long Live The Queen"
Their 
Only 
Anthem!

Eternity 
Their
Reward

I
Fall
In

If I were a sailing ship with my mast set most high, I would let the wind guide my way and steer it not would I. My destination it would determine, and I'd ne'er regret the waves or the changing of the sea, for where my journey takes me, then that is where I'll be....

If wishes could quench my thirst for you
  I would be eternally drunk on requests.
My hunger well-sated by ardent feasting 
  upon a banquet of untethered desires.

You numb my eyes
From tippity-top
To eight count plies
Rhythmic grooves 
Crossing hard waxed floors
Bouncing orange orbs denied	
Double bass pounding, pounding
In my ears
Heart
Pride
Moving like soft water
Untethered sass
Yesterday’s child
Today a Dancer
Numbing eyes...
