Unlace Poems | Examples

Our Arms Do Embrace

   Our arms do embrace
     tears across space

   The lines of my face
     your fingers do trace

   Two lives of grace
     no foe can unlace

Shoe Laces

I’ll try my hand at every kind
of rhyme;
I find that they can help to prime
the mind.
Though oft when I should have abstained,
I’ve tried,
and ended up, knots in my brain,
tongue-tied.
When that occurs, you must unlace
your shoe,
and try again to thread it through.

the Shoe Laces form is an 11 line poem, 8/2/8/2/8/2/8/2/8, with a rhyme scheme of abbacddceff

Autumn In Nature

yellow leaf leaves soon
assurance draft to return...
men yearn to unlace.

all awaits autumn
arrived, invoking slumbers...
hoist fingers to pen.  

like seductive smile
autumn greens adapt reddish...
refashioned the soil.

the birds and ant rush
gathering bread before cold...
nostalgic relived.

giant eruption of
mushroom maturing season~
relishes flavors.

pure ecstasy, this
seasons bestow on mankind...
ignite, poet in me.

Summer Lover

The tongue of summer’s sun

nearly sears my skin as I unlace

strings on my bikini. 
                              
Sultry rays I lie back to embrace!

Senses Awake

I drink the jasmine
   .........deep within

I touch the sound of songbirds
..........on high

I breathe a verdant scene
.....onto my page

I taste the sunshine
......upon my face

I feel my heart
.......filled with grace

I hear Summer disappear
...and Fall unlace

Verse Freed To Flower

LOVE FLOWERS
Love relates and liberates
Mutual trust procreates,
Enlarging all as it grows;
Love flowers as it flows.

Love's rapport binds and bonds
Affirmed in whispers fond,
And prospers like blossom grows;
Love flowers as it flows.

A pleasured prized and treasured,
Unselfishin  it's measure
Requited quid pro quo;
Love flowers as it flows.

We release our hidden grace
As barriers unlace
When each the other knows;
Love flowers as it flows.

Love Flowers

Mutual trust procreates,
Enlarging all as it grows;
Love flowers as it flows.

Love's rapport binds and bonds
Affirmed in whispers fond,
And prospers like blossom grows;
Love flowers as it flows.

A pleasured prized and treasured,
Unselfish in  it's measure
Requited quid pro quo;
Love flowers as it flows.

We release our hidden grace
As barriers unlace
When each the other knows;
Love flowers as it flows.

Love-Flowers

Mutual trust procreates,
Enlarging all as it grows;
Love flowers as it flows.

Love's rapport binds and bonds
Affirmed in whispers fond,
And prospers like blossom grows;
Love flowers as it flows.

A pleasured prized and treasured,
Unselfishin  it's measure
Requited quid pro quo;
Love flowers as it flows.

We release our hidden grace
As barriers unlace
When each the other knows;
Love flowers as it flows.

Blue Carnal

"Blue Carnal"



Libertine take your time
unlace the chords of 
the corset of my mind
cerebral you take me 
walking barefoot towards you
like your welcomed stalker
through your windows
twin mirrors 
naked flames' 
unfurling reflections

Your mind is the tide that turns me
I am walking on the edge

Omnipresent you turn me over
dissolute you are too fast and hot
Blue Carnal
I am your soft core hard reckoning

"She returned many times to this apartment. Her desire would begin long before each meeting, as she dressed for him. At all hours of the day his perfume would issue from some mysterious source and haunt her. Sometimes as she was about to cross a street, she would remember his scent so vividly that the turmoil between her legs would make her stand there, helpless, dilated. Something of it clung to her body and disturbed her at night when she was sleeping alone."   
(Delta of Venus, Anais Nin)

Ephemeral

The glow of the dying sun
Colors the city pale orange.
Only a moment the scene lasts;
Turning to memory so foreign.

The orange glow cress tulips,
Lending them a vivid hue.
Only a season tulips will last;
Wilting until their next debut. 

The glow that fills the hearts
Of lovers in embrace;
“Forever” they say it will last,
Until lovers knot unlace.

Why must beautiful things
Fade away and die?
Leaving taunting memories
Which will fade in time?

A Land of Mythical Creatures

Once upon a time in an alluring place
Flourishing realm sweet with seasons showers pace
The earth food for life the lush greenness embrace
Array of flowering plants that twirl and lace
Birds twittered on leafy branches full of grace
Rare butterflies with wide, vibrant wings took chase
Bobbing on the breezeless air they dare through space
Charmed fairies if you gaze close into their face
They sniffed the air scared to be spotted they’ll race
Satyrs played pan flutes others danced everyplace 
While others sang a phrase carrying a mace
“Steady my heart; scented blooms cannot unlace
The beauty of your face I cannot erase”
Dare venture down a well-trod maze; rocks retrace
Your way back dazed so be prepared just in case

Valentine's Hug

No flowers or candy can express
the feelings of love I did possess.
Your kind words and your gentle caress
would evoke the greatest happiness.

I could read emotions on your face,
the ones that led to passion’s embrace.
The strings to my heart you could unlace
and time will not these feelings erase.

For now I can only see you smile
when I stare at the clouds for a while.
The love I felt walking down the aisle
made all life’s challenges feel worthwhile.

I need no gifts from a love so true;
I adored you at first sight, first view.
A Valentine’s hug I send to you,
knowing I’ll join you when this life’s through.

Near My Fireplace

Near My Fireplace

I lean my face near the burning fireplace
As I embrace the warmth that gives me grace
And base my thoughts upon the human race
I keep up pace in my small comfort space
And unlace evil climbing the staircase
To chase our souls that leave a loving trace.

Yearning Souls

Souls 
Yearning
To unlace ties
To the outer world
And re-tie and 
Knot to heartstrings.

Where Have I Misplace My Little Girl

Where Have I Misplace My Little Girl


We’ve been through this before
Watching you grow up I swore
To keep you safe with my life embrace

               Watching you I trace the tears run down your face 
               Wiping away the tears you shed to be replaced
 	 You’re my miracle of life conceived

               I try to reach to unlace,
               Erase the sadness,
               It's beyond my reach of understanding what you’re going through

Sorry you are feeling blue, you mustn’t
let your emotion’s cloud your judgment

Come here, you silly girl and let me bring the sunshine back to your face
Dance to chase your dreams and place yourself in my embrace

The world won’t change, but what you focus on can and may come true
If you change yourself you will change the world around you  

Where have I misplace my little girl 
   You’re my stars
      You’re my moonlight 
         You’re my rainbow 
I love you, my darling daughter

                    As I talk to my little girl I remember the way my mother tried 
  	              to talk to me and sometimes I took for granted
