ASSUMPTION
They be;
"Steadily assuming"
Thinking what you're not
Their perception
A reflection of them
They're always assuming
From we pass and what they heard.
Your looks,
"Sometimes don't define you"
What you see sometimes
Might be deceiving
People do disguise.
Your pains
Some people's gains
Steadily want to tame or shame you.
They want to know our wonders
So we always
Keep them wandering
Walking around
Asking

How to Tame a Tornado: How to Halt a Hurricane
The possibilities are endless
With every new scientific discovery.
There is inspiration to invent devices
That improve quality of life
And save lives in the process.
Spin with the wave and slow it down
With drones and electromagnetism.
Entropy and vacuums.
Spin with the wave, then slow it down
With science and ingenuity.
Catch the wind and spin, hook in
The eye of the storm is

We do not wish the wild horses tame
Winds Blow, and We know
That Change is Coming Soon.
Life-Tides Moving By
The Glistening Monthly Moon.
Make Room We Say, For Crossroads;
By the Way.
As Dew Becomes; the Dues
That We Must Pay.
Our Crusty Mirror Sees Only Shapes;
Foggy and Unclear.
When Eyes of Youth So Crystal
In Their Shining Lack Of Fear.
We Move So Slow,
And Slow the Change Becomes.
We Hardly

Tame Teal Tongue
Tears slide down from ebony eyes
Burgundy broken heart burnt fried
Wounded by words like stones that fly
Stunting self esteem killing pink pride
You speak kindly to strangers though
You even greet plants finely and they grow
Yet you blindly hurt the ancestors soul
With your desire to let the truth be told
It’s not what you say but how you do
Everyone

Who will tame the Rogue Ztate?
‘We stand by the dead
We support the displaced
We succor the disabled
We serve the deprived’
But who will tame the Rogue Ztate?
Who will knock with the Mosaic Punch?
Who will arrest the savage Thug?
Who will pull their below rug?
While the civilized world
Boils in this soup
Who will stir the pot
To injustice stop?

Tame Things
Had all wild animals the smarts,
They'd surely know it in their hearts,
That living in the manner mild,
By far outweighs the running wild.

To Tame the Beast
~~~ Not entered in a contest ~~~
I knew better than to touch the tail of a tiger,
but temptation was only a hair's breadth away. A tiger
lies sleeping. My hand, creeping closer, fingers burning.
I was yearning for a wish come true. Star light, star bright.
What wild jungle do I find myself in?
He is beautiful, yet terrifying.

The Creature Never Tamed -James 3:8-
This poem was inspired by James 3:8, enjoy!
Two wise men
Decide to gather round
A fire in a kin
When one's mouth makes a hissing sound
He bragged about his fame
In the land where he was from
For every creature is tamed
Wherever he shall come
"I have tamed a fish before;
When I went out to sea
Now I can change the ocean

Wish
First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Be visited by beautiful sprite
My mist-laden dreams to light
A smile like a summer day
A thought of you blows the clouds away
Tolerating my babbling bray
You’re thoughts on show like a whirling ballett
The speed of rhyme goes up
Out of flying fingers words erupt
Trying to describe you’re

Boy With Multicolored Eyes
crouched...
ready
attack or flee?
he hides
exposing not even
the speckled ambiguity
of social foliage.
watching...
hunger reaches
out to feed
where fear springs

Tame
Tame,
beaming
with low lights;
Coming alive
uncontrollably,
fueled by all of your love;
All lit up from the inside,
healing scars and making me brave;
A glow I cannot quietly curb
instantly awakening something wild.

Tame Yourself
You are born with a purpose to serve,
Render service from your heart, in totality
Age would fail to guide you, miserably
If you don't display versatility with time.
Education shall prove a big redundancy
If you don't sail along the current of modernity.
Contemplate not on destroying others
With coercively authoritative complex.ity.
Humanity seeks your iota of attention,
Lay hands with a

Stallion
Stallion
Mighty, was his look,
rendering tall, as he provokes.
The attraction that he emanates drawing to its taming,
which we sought.
A stallion as he stands,
the silhouette is what we have seen.
It was that of a wild horse
waiting for his taming to prevail!
The stallion's tone took when the animal did

Tame November
There's no chill in November's wind.
Of late, it's weather has been kind;
the mouth muzzled so it won't bite.
Relatively tame day and night!
Chrysanthemums are in full bloom,

House of Tame
There was a vampire House of Pain
It was the neighborhood’s chief bane
Blade and Whistler found it
Squashed it and those ‘round it
Now they call it the House of Tame
