Sleek ode bard might nurse,
apt term in hue laden verse,
paint scenes with star phrase,
blue sky ink splash set ablaze,
flaunt that quill, arise, amaze
"Unleash the Kraken"
Unleash the Kraken!
Don't just listen, speak.
For demons will devour
Those who are soft and meek.
Unleash the Kraken!
Don't just run and flee.
For those who don't fight
For themselves are not free
Unleash the Kraken!
Let your craft be seen.
Let the the whole world witness
That you can live the dream.
Unleash the Kraken!
Raise your colored flag.
People will judge,
Just give them peace and love.
Unleash the Kraken!
Of your creative mind
For your wisdom and ingenuity
Can change the tracks of time.
Unleash the Kraken!
Be courageous, be bold.
The stories of your greatness
Must not be left untold.

Unleash your dragon
Non-performing AI and EV’s now center stage
customers rightly outraged
Unleash your primal scream
Transgender men destroying women’s sports
dominating arenas and courts
Unleash your primal scream
Immigration at the border’s a nightmare
Let ‘em all in, give ‘em welfare
Unleash your primal scream
If we all scream loud enough
the D.C. elites will have to get tough

A butterfly yearns to escape my heart,
But my stubbornness holds it back,
Stay inside; I won't abandon you,
On exhibit for everyone to view,
A butterfly yearns to escape my heart.
Am I doomed if I remain upright?
Do you intend to cause havoc?
I feel a fluttering sensation in my heart
Too savvy to let him out all night,
When on the brink of slumber
Stay positive. I hope you're here.
Freedom is the failure of fear
I pledge loyalty to my homeland!
Unburdened by time, raise your head
Backbreaking, blinded you to beckon,
A peek into what holds the future,
Release from the chains of slumber.
The Peacefulness of the night draws you in,
Don't mistrust stars guiding toward truth
Escape from confusion of destiny.
The winds are erratic,
Cold and sternly, the helm is grasped
Living without becoming a puppet
Where motions are overseen by,
Wires habits and figures predict
For a master of the show
to dupe them into actual mimicry.
Unlock the door to your wildest imagination,
Allow your creativity to be your salvation.
Allow your ideas flow like a river,
And your creativity will make you quiver.
Allow your mind explore,
Allow your creativity to soar.
Allow your ideas be your guide,
Allow your thoughts be your muse
And your creativity will be your utmost pride.
Ink spills on the page
Unleashing poetic might~
freedom in each word
Ink dances freely
Words pierce through hearts and minds, bright~
phoenix heart, I rise
In verse, I'll convey
resilience blooms in my soul~
love's light guides my way
betrayed by Ink's lies
pen silently mocks my mind~
friendship turned deceit
Ink's deceitful tale,
Pen's betrayal cuts me deep~
lost falsehood's web
Ink weaves syllables
unveiling the soul's purest~
wraith of poetry
words dance on pages
Ink weaves syllables with grace~
poetry's true essence
Ink strokes intertwine
syllables whisper secrets~
poetry's perfume scent
The Child
within me wakes
up every time I see
a chocolate, cake or ice cream.
I lick and relish every morsel while
my husband says you are grown up.
I do it when I am
with family
at home
The Child
within me wants
to play games endlessly
for while doing so I'm at the
moment enjoying myself, all my cares
and worries set aside. I am
practicing mindfulness
effectively
with joy
There is
a child within
each of us, tucked away
out of fear of ridicule by
others. Unleash that child, allow it to
do whatever it wants. It is
the source of boundless joy.
Don't think about
the world
Watching
you others might
shed their mask and learn to
find joy in small events of life.
Why follow the world? Why not live with joy
every moment of your short stay?
Be an inspiration
for others to
follow

Your Inner Child
O' Woman !
You are not some Damsel in Distress ,
And Surely no less than an Empress .
Never Let Patriarchy Wither your Madness,
Isn't it Minute for all the Life and Gladness ?
The time has come to awaken the Inner Goddess in You,
For the Audacity often comes out of the Blue.
Now You are Stronger after Surviving that Storm,
Unleash Your Inner Beast for now is the time to Perform.
No one wanted to get to know her.
She’s a Pandora’s Box waiting to happen!
This intrigued me; I ran toward her.
Loving the challenge of it.
She was not easy; had been a recluse for years.
We became friendly, friends, eventually best friends.
She was not easy to unleash,
She had cemented herself inside.
When her husband died she had stopped living.
Forcing herself into a barren cave, a cell actually.
It was not a gentle process to remind her of her humanness
Luckily I am a party animal, and was up to the challenge.
I dragged her out of her darkness,
I forced her into trying new things.
I became her advocate and champion
Until she eventually championed herself.
Then I let her go, but not easily.
She and I are still best friends.
She now travels and does daring new things
Without my aide; and I am ever so proud of her.
Take and breathe fire
Seize on your desire
Kill the person
Unleash the dragon
Never could I have fathomed
That you would unleash the dragon
Of lust power and fiery
No you didn’t even have to
Give me a piece of jewelry
For months now it’s been lateral
Of a relationship that
Has remained quite casual
We entered into a sexual agreement
Of satisfaction of our flesh
I would never tell
How you have been simply the best
Than the many lovers I’ve had
Being with you
Makes my physique quite glad
I’m developing an obsession
For devious gratification
But I maybe forsaking
A possible bright future
That would be very useful
For the two of us
Yet I can’t get over
Your incredible thrust
And I realize.....this is only
Risqué behavior
After this exploitation
We both need to confess
Our transgressions to the savior
You have unleashed the dragon
But I question if
I should remain on this bandwagon
wound and bound,
by flowing tears,
lost and found,
by yesteryears,
crossed and closed,
my eyes are bright,
tie me up,
to hide my sight,
from gaze of those,
who seek to free me,
they don't know,
you won't unleash me.
She whispered in the winter wind
and all the while she did rescind
the promises he'd held her to.
He's turning her world black and blue.
Yet,he had one foot out the door
the day they met,even before
bold circumstance did bring him here.
Now everyday she feels the fear.
She wants him to unleash her soul
and shattered heart so she'll be whole.
He only wants a willing pawn
and when she's broken he'll be gone.
Casting her hopes to the skies
she washes her hands of his lies;
Finds a shelter for all her pain.
He'll not darken her door again.
