Night unwinds
Upon the soul
Falling night unwinds
Before the night falls
Surrenders her crown...

Something in common

Is the key

That defines..

Communication

Is the key

That unwinds..

Long
Running
Tape of grey
Unwinds its way
Across Gaia’s breast
Tell your stories
To riders
Mighty
Road.

On the wheels of our dreams
The hammer of Thor
Shall crack this fountain sky
What words shall find
The patient clock unwinds
We live on borrowed time...

I lay in his arms
At peace
He holds me
Mysteriously
I feel relief
Then time unwinds
Strife begins
We yell
We fight
The years pass
The serenity of love...

Be this heaven, 
So divine
Untouched, unblemished
The air unwinds
The voice of 
Your deep blue eyes
Still moves me
This time,
Say that
You love me, and
So, shall I...

Her soft bosom
Her tender lap
Where a man unwinds ~
 Unburdens his heart
 To a sympathetic mind

Port in the storm
Oasis -- to restore, refresh
 Without strings attached
 Constricted or enmeshed...

Be this heaven, 
So divine
Untouched, unblemished
The air unwinds
The voice of your deep blue eyes
Still moves me this time,
Please say that 
You love me
while
your voice
penetrate my soul
and
So, shall I...

I am encompassed 
creativity stricken 
now decompose not blinded 
what is the last line dead letters
Blank white paper but no characters
Clouded mind unwinds
Creativity died

In mine mental block

A Photograph
By: Miracle Man
August 19, 2020

Each picture, is a record of a moment in time,
that likely we’ll share, as our life unwinds.
Though physical presence deteriorates by grime,
it’s securely tucked away in our minds.

Time unwinds where river tears spill
O’er river rock, when angels stand still.

in between the kisses under covers
you tell me how much you missed me
in between the hugs and the lovin
I tell you just the same

the ceiling fan spins and it all unwinds
the pent-up passion from a few short days
equal parts coming together
to make us once more whole...

She dances at the edge of my mind 
That little frilly dolly, coy and shy 
With cipher weight she slow unwinds  
leaving me with a desire to fly   
as she melts away and turns to nigh

So many gems lay sparkling in our minds

of wondrous days and years, we can recall;

and each gets glossier as it unwinds,

while joyous recollections shine, enthrall.
 
Pray that our shiny jewels are kept sublime-

as we proceed to polish them with time.

What Happens Today
 
What happens today will be revealed
Then our expectations will be filled
 Nothing can stop the hands of time
As the day slowly unwinds

What will be, will be at last
Then what was before, will be the past
We’ll deal with what is shown
As we go boldly into the unknown...

We need not bother ourselves
with these details
For the process unwinds its progression
and the end is peaceful
Like the sleeping babe that enters
It's sleep that now claims the silence
Rest awkens the spirit
Who sees the need to depart
And we who bear witness
can only watch and wonder
as we silently weep in stillness...

discarded, dismissed in rain
faint arrows of moonlight, peering through diagonal blinds
i hang in the shadows
drink pus, eat silicon
and believe in nothing.

rain is only until the darker, jet black vastness unwinds the lesser space gray of clouds.

when you sleep, i awaken.

i look at my hands

and they become mine....

Life is a mere strand of thread,
Woven tightly it can forever last
Emotions travel ,
Maybe unravel
Stitched loosely futures fray,sour pasts
Your spool of thread is a unique pattern
Choose colors and fabric wisely
Lest your path unwinds tattered
Strand of thread dangling,so minute
Find the eye of the needle,design astute....

Energy of magic key
Unwinds ground caressing feet 
Princess drunken on delights from heart adored 
Happiness of all spring times of all ages combined 
On height of firework laughter interrupted by phone
Ringing inconsequential words with menacing tone
Immersing soul in desolate desperation
At the turning of the puppet mania key....

The dark; the gloom; the waning moon dost shine
The beast within the pounding heart unwinds
The night’s delight awaiting sunset
The girl sits all alone

The stars shoot by overhead up high
Crickets sing out a lover’s lullaby
A night to dream a fantasy of love
The boy takes her home

Fearfulness falls in heavy drops
On one who wonders 
About the tomorrow that was once a ten,
And now is only a five.

Life unwinds like a slowing watch
Sowing deeds good and bad behind,
‘Til a wall of impenetrable fog remains
For etching by the finger of forever.

Fearfulness falls in heavy drops
On one who wonders about tomorrow....

The music cannot be denied,
it unwinds like an articulated dragon
through a metallically ringing void.
Then there is the silk serpent
hidden in the driving engine
the closed-eyed coiling.

The hairs in my ears dance;
the notes are calling out stars;
not the ones we see,
but dark stars
born in the disheveled rooms
of fallen angels....

UNKNOWN STILLNESS 1


To go in an instance
To a deep void
Even an empty unknown
Yet discern a certain knowing
Being in-sync with No-thing
And yet knowing a freshness
Crystal clear and light
Where creative inspiration
Sustains odd reason and logic
And discretely unwinds
