Slab City Crisis Tamed

City hum drifts through spurious ways,
teeming in a wild, woody ward.
The jasmine vine twists down

ONCE UPON A TAMED
Once upon a time a tamed was born free
the tamed roamed in his home so free
the tamed enjoyed every moment and soon he was considered too free,
too free, to be born, too free to be strong, too free to be living, too free to exist, too free to be alive, just too free to be

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

Wild Words
My words in sonnets, haiku, or "fences"
Only for you my endearing true love
Worry about voice, rhymes, and tenses
Only for you my prettiest pet dove
Carefully I slip each word on your string
Meaningfully picked and perfectly placed
To split your heart open and hear you sing
Sweet, sultry nothings from bosom unlaced
Light in your eyes dispels all my darkness
From

She Whom Shall Not Be Tamed
Underneath the deep Neanderthal of her reptile brain
She kept to herself inner most She Who Shall Not Be Tamed thoughts
Horrible ideas that would frighten monsters out of children’s closets
These were the kinds of thoughts that no normal human could have
concocted, conjured, cajoled or created under calm conditions
Stay back there she warned them with her meanest

Tamed Beast
I want to tell you a true life story,
This very story has never been told to any ear before now;
It’s a burden to hold this story to my heart alone;
As I share a demo of my experience, the loads lessen;
From my script, these are uncensored truths that I reveal;
I’m a product of sin and born

Tamed
He called up the contact
The contact gave his name and number
The number was a familiar one
Old Nick's address 666
The name needed verifying
Biatch Wanker
Can you spell it again?
The line was bad
Remember son
Gothic music is the best
And Satan is a heavy metal God
See you at the gig
Dress in black...

Titan Is Tamed
A white horse stomping dream rides
thundering hooves jump off ridges
beyond mountains to distant realms,
euphoria ripples in speed of lightning.
its coat gleaming like a crystal palace.
roaming free of saddles, prairies yonder.
big eyes in wonder, unfettered reins
accelerating spirits of broken chains.
Yet in it's furious speed and strength
stillness of torrents, a Titan is tamed.
In caress

How I Tamed the Tiger
How I tamed the tiger
How I tamed the tiger that burns inside of me.
It was not a conscience quest to change,
Life just ripped it out for all to see.
I have only emptiness inside my chest
And all that is left to wait for is death.
This is my only recognizable form,
For human being has never been my

Gatekeeper of My Heart
You hold the flame that tamed my heart
That came to me in the light of the dark
On fire from the very start
Life itself could not pry our love apart
Meeting in the middle like a dancing fiddle
That sings out like a weeping willow
That reflects from the glisten
Out of the corner of your eyes
Have I ever

Some Hearts Can Never Be Tamed
Once when my soul spoke,
you betrayed every word.
Then your tongue promised
to only sing with sincerity.
I danced for a brief while,
lost in your angelic orchestra.
Until I stumbled and you fell,
crushing our garden of roses.
Then keys fused only sad sounds.
Maybe it was me, but i'm sure
it was you, who left me alone on
that boulevard

The Tamed Challenge
Native Tribal Nations,
eradicated –
treated as savages
without souls,
even by the missionaries.
Challenge of occupying land
of Tribal Nations,
disregarding, uprooting
their culture, way of living
and their future generations.
Utter demise of Indian Tribal Nations,
their conquest, forceful relocation
and armed occupation.
Scorched earth, buffaloes killed,
uprooted crops, burned forests,
just to cut their supply base –
Pushing boundaries, dividing other Nations,
we leave troops on foreign soil,
occupying

The Tamed
Spit. Fire. Claws.
Fury shoots out at every angle
Who cares
if there’s
a reason!
I’m
MAD.
Slowly silken sing-song
words lilt and float
down
like a dove
they settle, flowing across my
prickled neck.
caressing the curve of my jaw
hugging my heart
and I sink.

Limerick: An Invasion By the Maimed, Tamed and the Lame
Limerick: An Invasion by the Maimed, Tamed and the Lame
An invasion by the Maimed, Tamed and the Lame
Is still an invasion by any other name
“She stoops to conquer!”
Hearths freeze in fire
Better life for theirs is the name of the game.
