The Unbidden Guest
Oh, it is like any other night
Quite quietly still
Neither a stir nor a quiver
Neither a hush nor a shush
No stars, not even the moon
peeking through the dark quilt
of a shadowless night.
Yet my heart is pounding heartlessly
Yet my mind is meandering mindlessly.
It is about time to curl up and repose
let my soul slumber and debunk

Unbidden Memories Past
The wind taunts me with unbidden memories,
It curses me,
Gives me no lasting solace.
It reminds me of that lovely day
When we wandered o'er the hills,
Wild fragrant thyme perfumed
The graceful countryside.
The wind had breezed through
Your silken hair.
Your luscious eyes sparkled with love.
I blame indifference for this lustful world.
Now you are gone forever, my dear,
While I lament

Unbidden Thoughts
A robin dive bombs me.
Reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock’s movie The Birds
Weird where thoughts unbidden go
Creating their own highways
Three wrens swoop by, flying together.
Flora, Fauna and Meriwether, Sleeping Beauty’s faeries
Birds whistle and peep more loudly now
Are they seeing her dance with the prince too?

Weird Memories Come Unbidden
Weird memories flit into my mind unbidden
Some lost a long time ago, truly well-hidden.
No rhyme or reason, no obvious time.
Some things funny, other things almost a crime.
Because my mind is crazed with these memories hard
Is probably why I decided to break down and be a bard.

Unbidden Love - Ca
"the anguish of grief leaves me with an appetency and yearning for peace . . . "
the allure of love was enchanting
the promise between us a delicate flower
love was like a guest unbidden
well-timed and auspicious
for my heart was a ravaged garden
and you knew how to soothe and calm me
how to assuage my fears
and the scars

Infestors, Unbidden Harvesters
Infestors in our lives abound
In our pleasure, our leisure, our treasure
Found on the ground our feet pound
In the illusion seizure and amnesia
We grow when blows
Whip us at the core of our faith
When sorrow throws
With fast breath
On our neck they breathe
Our bliss to steal
In their seethe
Of anger they deal
With a smile on the face
They show and

Carbuncle Unbidden and Unwelcome
Wounds drained, opened, ingrained, rained, sprained, trained
In the midst of a family loss
Recriminations canned, fanned, planned, tanned
To fight the brute boss
Dressed up as justice cause
Disguised as implementation of lopsided justice
Pursued to discredit the family rose
Oppressed in the sluice
Where survival sap flows
In a bid to catalyze vitality
Where Providence fluid blows
The breath of consolidation and maturity
Grown in

A Gallant, Unbidden
A gallant, unbidden, appeared one night
inside my room; mere words he never spoke!
He came creeping softly in the moonlight.
A gallant, unbidden, appeared one night
with caresses so sweet I felt it might
have only been a dream once I awoke.
A gallant, unbidden, appeared one night
inside my room. Mere words he never spoke.
Sept. 21, 2017 for Broken Wing's

Virgo's Unbidden Glory
Late-September tingles on wispy nights,
blowing a mild drizzle from crisp, eastern winds
and lays on the hammock of gilded foliage,
to decorate a new season's mantle:
Its fire and earth mesh with time's luster,
weaving a texture which displays
a soul’s contentment from nature's hymn,
that deigns to fully acknowledge
such Virgo

Rhymes Unbidden
By Robert (Bob) Moore
I wonder where these poems have been
hiding in my head unseen
‘til Billy Briggs started me on rhyme
and now it’s there, all of the time
I think of rhymes day after day
sometimes I wish they’d go away
guess I’m stuck ‘til there all done
must admit, it has been fun
