Untethered Poems - Poems about Untethered

Untethered

I am not whole,
but I am here-
barefoot on the edge of mourning,
where no echo dares speak back.

My mind
is a locked room
with the windows flung open.
Grief dances in like a breeze-
pretending to be gentle.

No one sees
the way my thoughts scatter
like ash in water,
each memory refusing to drown.

Sometimes,
I want to be the sky-
unreachable,
but always holding something back.

But

Realm Untethered: a Woman's Sun

In a realm untethered, a woman birthed her own sun,
Her radiant hands ablaze with ethereal hues.

Beneath her feet, the earth burgeoned, an ever-fertile expanse,
embracing all within its grasp, its essence aglow in tangerine trance.

From this fusion emerged a tranquil serenade,
as tranquil breath whispered on, an orange cascade.

Melodies danced on zephyr's wings,
A symphony woven with celestial

Untethered Smile

She walks with grace and poise
A smile that spreads joy and noise
The kind that lifts the soul aloft
In its warmth, we could bask for days on end

Her eyes shine bright like stars
Reflected in that smile, like light from afar
And as she passes us by,
We can't help but feel inspired and alive

With boundless energy and joy,
She

Untethered

Salt tears drip from leaves, 
to land on tea-colored pages.
Hopes and dreams, 
written in the ink of history,
slowly blur and drip 
into the underworld of the
abandoned and long forgotten.

Salt waters of the ocean
and tumbling waves turn 
stones and pebbles to sand,
erasing familiar shapes
and throwing up barriers
to once precious memories.

Dimming eyes look out on
unfamiliar landscapes of

Untethered Bliss

When everything in your world 
is beautifully colored
you float on a cloud of bliss

limbs float untethered
shine like wings, you dance
swirling, swaying, swishing hips 

spread your wings  
fly, arms folded
to embrace

breathe deeply
store joy for rainy days

the light offered by life
and the shroud of darkness
offered by night

singing up to the rainbow sky
eyes twinkling with a weekend

Untethered

As the space we share together-

Becomes untethered. 

I shall take the scars of kindness with me. 

Even as my blood goes missing. 

And all that will be left are my clanking bones. 

Which I will use to drum up a song that is like clouds turned to stone. 

I shall smile as I wait for

Inextricably Untethered

I've struck a snag after a long develops steps.
To a recent attitude over alliance depth,
I investigate this frightening atmosphere.
On top, winning expresses me insecure.

 Because of my hearty assurance, I'm here today.
Divine grace has favored us for countless days.
I'm ailing back running with my unique mindset.
God, the Divine, contrives a chart for us, don't fret.

I

Untethered From Time

Falling raindrops weather rocks
untethered from time and clocks.
Fueling a thirsty Earth,
water stimulates rebirth.
Vapors condense in the sky
and in the blink of an eye,
falling raindrops, weather rocks.

Untethered Threads

Like a thistle seed
at the mercy
of the wind;
I cling to tufts of
untethered threads.
I've no roots,
no destination,
no destiny and
no ambitions.
Like a snowflake
in a flurry:
I'm both unique,
and commonplace;
as I drift through life.
But you are like
a fledged dove,
riding the wind
on wings of hope;
in complete control.
You're my breath, my soul,
my everything.
You are the breeze
that carries
me aloft:
teaching me to fly
like

Untethered

Untethered to this earth, I am a bird.
I’m winging and I’m singing in the sky.
How glorious this feels, but I’m not heard!
I wish for all to know my joy. I fly
back to the nest upon the blossomed tree,
where blissfully I let my voice resound.
There are so many things that I could be!
By merely thinking it,

Untethered Desires

If wishes could quench my thirst for you
  I would be eternally drunk on requests.
My hunger well-sated by ardent feasting 
  upon a banquet of untethered desires.

Original poem: 'When your Eyes Meet Mine'

Time Untethered

My verse begins
  where logic ends

Escape its mission
  new light to bend

The easy answer
  the convenient close

Now left to others
  by others chose

Each phrase a path
  that leads inside

Beyond where dogma
  schemed and lied

A light there shines
  unto itself

By grace of nothing
  above all else

The music starts

Tv's Come Untethered

Sports, Sports, Sports
   Weather, Weather, Weather
News, News, News
   TV's come untethered

Business, Business, Business
   Politics left and right
From dawn to dusk, and onto evening
   And far into the night

Pundits, Experts, Talking Heads
   Some quite lively, some quite dead
Studio audiences and callers-in 
   Vying to

Untethered

The clock shattered in smithereens
but I hold on to the time;
time brought me to you
it would forever bond us
Time broke me away from the prison of my false thoughts
and here I remain UNtethered

Untethered

If I were a sailing ship with my mast set most high, I would let the wind guide my way and steer it not would I. My destination it would determine, and I'd ne'er regret the waves or the changing of the sea, for where my journey takes me, then that is where I'll be.
