Unconfined Poems

Inspiration

Idle words dance; leaves in the wind.
I walk the streets, somewhat chagrined,
as they whirl about unconfined.
Their magic takes root in my mind.

Within myself, I come to see
the treasures amongst the debris.
Reality is left behind.
Their magic takes root in my mind.

Words take on a life of their own
with images, hither unknown,
lifting dark veils from eyes once blind.
Their magic takes root in my mind.

Idle words dance; leaves in the wind.
Their magic takes root in my mind.

Ripples of the Past

Old memories visit in my twilight,
Rebukes from a time when strength was mine,
When the future lay unfolded before me,
Unconfined and untested.

Now, thoughts flow slowly, 
like a river frozen in time, 
The current stilled by the weight of years. 
Lulled in the night, I will fly fish for 

Memories darting like trout in an icy stream, 
Glimmering beneath the surface, swift and bright, 
Caught in the moment, then slipping free, 
Leaving ripples of the past in their wake.

Whispers Of The Fog

Whispers Of The Fog  

A silhouette adorned in misty grace
She strides along the shore’s embrace
With the ocean's breath, her spirit free
In the fog, a wild melody  
Seagulls cry, their echoes blend
With waves that stretch, horizons mend
Nature's canvas, unconfined to see
A fleeting moment, beautifully

In Shadows Deep

In shadows deep, where silence weeps,
A heart once bold, now quietly sleeps.
My brother, dear, with dreams untold,
Faced a world that felt so cold.

In mirrors, he searched for who to be,
A dance between truth and what others see.
In the light of dawn, he sought to find
The pieces of self, intertwined, unconfined.

Each struggle, each tear, a story to share,
A journey through pain, a breath of despair.
Yet in the night, he found his grace,
A spirit unbroken, a gentle embrace.

In shadows deep where silence weeps,
A brother’s heart, a sister keeps,
Through tangled paths, your truth unfurled,
A journey brave in a shifting world.

Each whispered doubt, each tear concealed,
A struggle fought, yet love revealed,
In every scar, a story spun,
A bond unbroken, two lives as one.

Though time moved on, and seasons changed,
Your spirit soared, yet felt estranged,
In memory’s embrace, you still reside,
Forever cherished, my heart’s great guide.

So here I stand, with love so deep,
In memories cherished, your soul I keep,
For in the dance of life, and dreams that soar,
You are my sister, forevermore.

Reverse Psychology

A reversible poem.

Tell me not to chase the dreams I seek, 
And watch as I pursue them all the more, 
Say I’m too fragile, say that I’m too weak, 
And see me rise to prove what I’m made for. 

Dismiss my thoughts as folly, pure and vain, 
Then watch them flourish, bold and unconfined, 
Declare that all my efforts are in vain, 
And I’ll succeed with purpose well-defined. 

Say that I should walk away, give in, 
And see me stand my ground, refuse to yield, 
For every doubt you cast, I’ll find within, 
A stronger will, a greater sword to wield.

SPEAKING MIRROR

The mirror softly spoke, lips parted wide
With a gleam in its eye and words unconfined:
"Improvise, for life’s script is predefined.
Familiar faces may cross your path
But don’t let those gentle smiles lead you astray."

Geranium

In gardens kissed by morning dew,  
Geraniums rise like fine painting on the canvas of earth,  
Their petals an articulate design in scarlet hue,  
Each bloom radiates a joyous story of rebirth. 

Their leaves, like emerald shields,  
stand strong, Guarding secrets whispered in the wind,  
In sunlight's embrace, they sing their song,  
A symphony of colors, unconfined. 
 
With stems that reach for azure skies,  
They dance with grace in summer's breeze,  
Their fragrance, a whispered lullaby,  
Carried by the wings of bees. 

Like sentinels in nature's grand design,  
Geraniums bloom, a living art,  
Their beauty, a beacon that ever shines,  
A testament to nature's heart.

Bedtime

I go to bed.  It’s been a long day.
All of the day’s cares melt away.
There’s no guessing what I might ponder.
My mind leaves my body to wander,
Taking flight, leaving reason behind,
It has its own mind.  It’s unconfined.
It flies to the sky, drops in a well,
Visits heaven, and it visits hell.

The Black Pharaoh

THE BLACK PHARAOH
 
In modern lands where histories entwine,
Timeless eminence and strength remain.
A Black Pharaoh rises, strong, proud & reigns,
Echoes of ancient lost glory now aligns.4

As a symbol of resilience, he sits on his golden throne,
Presence like a sculpture, carved from ancient stone,
In the bustling city streets, he dominates.
On his shoulders, are cities and fate.8

The Nile's majestic flow and legacy,
Reflect in him, a symbol of decree,
Astride the pyramids of olden days,
A ruler, bold and just in myriad ways.¹²

With wisdom deep as ancient tombs profound,
He leads and dominates, unconfined.
A visionary monarch, bold, black and wise,
In his gaze, hope and progress harmonize.¹6

In this modern age, a Pharaoh anew,
Guides his realm with grace, and vision true.¹8

Simplicity in Smiles: A Rhyme's Delight

As morning light unveils its grace,
A modest smile adorns each face.
No need for grandeur, just beguile,
A simple smile, a cherished style.

No eloquence in words to find,
Just a gentle grin, so unconfined.
It speaks of joy with whispers slight,
In the dialect of smiles, pure and bright.

A sunlit spark upon your lips,
Igniting joy with playful quips.
Unfussy, potent, this gesture mild,
A universal language, forever styled.

'Neath the sun's gentle, warm embrace,
A humble smile graces each face.
No need for grandeur, no elaborate style,
In simplicity, joy begins to compile.

A curve of lips, a radiant gleam,
A modest smile, a tranquil dream.
It whispers tales of warmth and ease,
In every line, a gentle breeze.

No intricate verses, no complicated wiles,
Just the enchantment of those simple smiles.
A language universal, tender and neat,
In moments of joy, hearts discreet.

So let it blossom like petals in a pile,
The allure found in a simple smile.

Mind Chatter

Its noisy din in silent rooms 
Leaves orphaned thoughts and focus doomed. 
Its silent clatter BECOMES SO LOUD
Your thoughts get lost in clamorous clouds.
It melts your mind and drowns your dreams 
While ideas inside you scream unseen.
So, you daydream just to free your mind
From chatter’s clatter, unconfined

Golden Year's Unveiled

In golden years, where time slows its pace,
Retirement's embrace, a serene grace.
Beyond the clock's ticking, life anew,
Unveiling vistas, dreams to pursue.

No longer bound by the daily grind,
A symphony of moments, unconfined.
Wisdom gained, like a timeless tome,
Outliving retirement, finding a home.

Each day unfolds with leisure's delight,
A canvas of joy, painted just right.
Embracing passions, long set aside,
In the twilight, a second wind resides.

Echoes of laughter, shared tales unfold,
A narrative spun in threads of gold.
Outliving retirement, a second chance,
Dancing through life's eternal dance.

Featherless Angels

A wingless spirit, mesmerizing and pure..
Unfolds its grace, an angel so demure.
No feathers adorn this ethereal creation..
Yet radiance glows in every vibration.

A seraph's essence, delicate and bright..
Invisible wings, gleaming with light.
Beauty unbound, in form unconfined..
A featherless angel, a marvel divine.

Odd Cultural Topics

______________________________________________________________

In a world of normal minds, they say,
As thoughts are bound in an adducible way,
A crucial realm of wisdom, often quoted,
Resides in books, yet remains unnoted.

What matters to those commonsensical souls?
Who dread leaving their safe zones of control,
Who adheres to the standard despite harm,
A parody of crucial concepts is not a psalm.

Where imagination thrives,
Ordinary minds bear daring dives,
There lies the beauty of being unconfined,
To the limits of what's deemed normal, defined.

For in the realm of crucial views to foresee,
There is none here that is subject to a decree,
No restrictions on what can be said or done,
No evaluation; no need to comply or stun.

Here, vital ideas turn into comedy,
A playful dance of ideas and absurdity,
Where seriousness waxes a giggling matter,
And the mundane transforms into laughter.

So let us stray from the path well-trodden,
Embrace the unconventional and broaden
Our horizons beyond the ordinary,
In the wit of key views, clarity is a corollary.

Ramble

Dog Roses ramble in high summertime
Their favourite place along green hedgerow
August has arrived they are in their prime
Perfect pink beauty with marvellous glow.

Along motorway Dog Roses amble
Covered in dust at the side of the road
miserable looking in fine tangle
Unfortunate place for floral abode.

Around cottage door pink roses blossom
Growing and flowering so unconfined
idyllic vision entirely awesome
Wondering who lives there? wish it was mine.

Symbolic of love is this humble bloom
Avoid sharp thorns when breathing in perfume.
