MY LOVE
IS A KNOT
TWISTED
AND TANGLED
AND YOUR LOVE
IS A NOOSE
WRAPPED TIGHT
AROUND MY NECK....

Lonely Girl

wrapped tight in brown cloak,
flashing Mona Lisa eyes -
lonely lioness...

I have found myself in your eyes.
To share a heartbeat,finger printing our lives as one.
 As still as night air with arms wrapped tight.
I know uniting with you,just feels right....

unbreakable cord

Every second beats by like a million years of time.
Feels like I haven't held you since the summer.
I miss your warmth and your slumber.
Being close and falling asleep
U wrapped tight in my arms...

Dancing in the moonlight, 
your feet are on mine 
Our arms wrapped tight,
as our bodies intertwine
We move slowly in unison,
the feelings grow strong
Two hearts beating as one, 
to Norah's sweet love song...

Sleeping angel sent down here from heaven above
Unweeping angel never more to feel sorrow or fears
Mommy holds you in her arms wrapped tight in eternal love
Daddy kisses your soft cheek trying to hold back his tears...

The wind
comes in at night,
bringing with it new ghosts
but I'm wrapped tight in mother's quilt, 
each painstaken swatch stitched by her own hand
She sings a breathy lullabye
and rocks me to sleep in
the cradle of
the wind...

Tacos are fine when wrapped tight
top with all the extras
onions, lettuce and some cheese
served with love 
It is the kind of snack 
I want to 
taste!

Is not from binding flesh.
Yet, a love not measured.
Togetherness makes you my family.
We share,care,walk in an unconditional bond.
I have you wrapped tight in my heart.
Attached soul right from the start.
From beginning to our end.
You will remain more than a friend.
You are my sister....

I watched your face,
as you stood by him,
that courage it took,
mine would have been dim.
Quietly, composed,
feelings wrapped tight,
if it had been me,
such a sight.
Long time coming,
he hid it well,
stories come forth,
many to tell.
Admiration to you,
a strong lady no doubt,
by his side,
as the truth comes out....

Silvery tongue creeps past heated cheek,
Entangling the ear
So enticing
Promises of things coming
Of inevitabilities
Denial of impossibilities
It is owed
Slippery sliding, ever further, wrapped tight
It is owed
Listen
For the words keep you afloat
You cannot swim in these waters
You must
listen.
Or drown.
So.
It is owed.
It must be....

Hand on hat,scarf wrapped tight
Black brolly angled low;
Each step a battle won.
A frail determined figure
On this year's reunion.

Face down in the mud
He was later found,
A note clutched in death's grip
"Better to die upon your feet
Than to live upon your knees"

No-one remembers why
No epitaph they wrote
Yet engraved thereon ..his final note....

Love is but a rope wrapped tight in various knots.
Just when you think you have one undone; the next is a bit harder
to undo.
If not careful it becomes tighter and the moment of anticipation
begins to fade.
This hurricane of twisted thread, bind as rope.
Willful to this release.
Time is key to those deserving;
Creating a memory that will last forever....

I listen for the winds sigh
murmuring like a lullaby
a whistle faint into the night
shy as a child's fright
A moonlight sky that drips
a purple sky that dips
into the wonder of it all
I leap upward to fall
Fluttering of angel's wings
soft as a mother sings
Sleep baby wrapped tight
all is calm all is right
Stars glitter far away
gently down in dreams I stay...

Listen to poem:

Phenomena of the Dawn
David J Walker

Sometimes the silence was true to its name
Allowing the quiet to remain
In its breathe deep Stage 5 rim sleep refrain 
In visions of times that have not passed 
A password wrapped tight in 
A sibylline Delphian daydream at night
Envision the vain dissolution of the
Daydreams remains as the
Phenomenon of the dawn 
Sets in...

Trapped


Just like a butterfly 
wrapped tight,
her folded wings 
await the flight.
Cocooned, she fears 
what to expect
when from her safety, 
disconnects.
With wings of flight, 
she must escape
into a world 
of new landscape...

Wisteria winding along its trunk,
weaving a way to the sun —
squinting with anticipation.

The tree wrapped tight —
squeezed with a wisteria boa.
His only escape is to embrace the sun.

Onlookers comment at the beauty of
his arthritic knuckles and knotty trunk.

The ancient tree barely breathes,
as gathering kith and kin think him wise,

before he turns to dust.

Wrapped tight; 
the softest shackles 
Braided like arms .
weaving us together ,

How tight will you tie,
how much can I take?
Before the ribbon breaks,
pretty little lace

splitting all over the floor 
I want to be free 
you pretty little ribbon 
they can have that face

My laughter carries on the wind
I have my release 
constricting little ribbon 
 In pieces, reckless abandon...

Paris at Christmas
city of lights for a week
streets decorated

Eiffel Tower lit
like a Christmas tree aglow
tourists staring up 

shoppers bustling crowds
bells ring; children caroling 
joy is everywhere

rosy-cheeked Santas
wrapping presents with ribbon
in department stores

light sprinkle of snow
sleigh ride through the Tuileries 
wrapped tight in blankets

The Protector
 
The beauty lies beneath the catastrophe, a casualty our life does not have to be 

Anger, fear and grudge, taking it out on innocent people, only God can judge 


As the smoke wans, as the dust settles, a blanket of hope lays solitaire 

beneath the ashes and rubble, there she lay wrapped tight as if she were in a

cocoon 


Unharmed and untouched, the blankets protected the young 

as if she were in the womb...

Here lies a grave,
a conglomerate headstone
without a name.
weeds and cobwebs 
wrapped tight around the heartless edge.
Caretaker rides his rusty deer
pretending he's a nascar stud
waking the dead and stirring mud.
He take's his lunch beneath a tree,
eating twinkies with green fingertips...
For his love he'll steal a wreath,
and place it gently on her grave.
That bears a scar called, 'long forgotten"
A grave he's coined"no name"....

I let the recurring changeability
Fall to my shoulders, like a lacy shawl.
It wrapped tight the sense of reality,
Telling me to feel miserable and small. 

To get warm I light candles and see
My heart burst into flames one more time.
Tomorrow will bring no guarantee
Except for the stony peak I must climb.

At dawn the same sun will wake me up
Though different clouds will cover the sky.
I’ll brew tea in the same porcelain cup
And confront the same, recurring lie…...

You cant fool me: human
Though i've been away
meditating in darkness,
I know whay you're all about
I've seen your deepest dreams
And im very adept
At listening to your silence
The gaps in beat and breath

Despite what you may do
I see your translucent nightmare
Behind this iron cage
Wrapped tight anal in a Victorian house
Desperately trying to save the day

Im back in action 
With instinct in tact
Dont think you can fool me
A single second with your words 
And ideas
I know how your mind tracks...
