Untwisted Poems | Examples

lost love

it's inexplicable how my hurt and anger evaporated
when I learned of your passing

while you were still a living breathing woman
your rejection seared my soul
yet I secretly hoped for reconciliation 
aware of the hopelessness

now there is no chance of changing the situation 
with my lifeless hopes scattered like your ashes
and finding oblivion 

finally
I realise my feelings for you survived
spurned love untwisted at last
love mistaken for hatred now recognised as frustrated fondness
with my memories of our time together treasured
no longer bitter sweet but sadly soulful

and I miss you so much, love

Vanished Into the Sun Trapped In a Butterfly

I want to plummet backward and die through the rip in the sky. Be reborn as a ball of yarn untwisted and undone not to be avenged but forgiven I want to spread my string my flaming wings. Get me away from the demon world of false ebullient faces. I await the Golden Gates gaze. Now my atoms of have split as the very big bang are my wings that spread.

Even If That Has Gone

Trip tripping over the words
Wheres the same in the strange
I've lost my way
Since the pain
Comes the rain
Walk down my hall of shame
No explanations for these reasons
The places my mind travels
Down this dirty road
Clouded by all the dust 
Feelings fall uncleaned 
Roughed to the core
My world broken apart
Losely i speak with this untwisted tongue
I wish i could find the words for my misunderstanding
As we grow we seem to split into two very different places
I want to take it all away
Go back to the way we were
But how were we really
Questions are barriers for the answers
Why cant i be the way we were sure to be then than now
My heart is lonely and my mind will never make sense of what has become
But i will try to be more then we were meant to be through us even if that has gone.

Apartment 62 Nosy Neighbour Observations: Part 2: Wasp Guy

Another neighbour in the building
I saw him from my balcony.
He Twisted up a plastic bag
and carefully hid it, under the tree.

He went back to his car and waited,
Then eventually, drove away.
I waited for hours until it was dark
To see if someone would collect it that day

When no one ever came to see
I gave up and went to bed.
Dreams of what could be inside
Racing through my curious head.

Morning came and I had to know
Of me, my nosiness got the best.
I ran outside and untwisted the bag
To find a very lively nest.

I dropped the bag and ran like hell!
Angry wasps were everywhere!
Now the only part I want to know
Is why he put it there....

Before It Becomes Such

A lustful obsession
Mistrustful connection
Sullied reflection
Imagined dream

In passion, seamed
A thought intertwined
Lost, enshrined
In a fanciful bliss

Romantic mist
The kiss of shattered
enchantments
Romantic’s blood
Frantic

Spill of scattered hopes
Battered ropes untwisted
Mind ballistic
A maddened heart, ablaze

A fire’s sparkling rage
Desire lost in plagues
Of fantasy unfilled
Magic’s backfiring

Tragic transpiring
Demise of hopes to love
Soured dove
Depleted of sweetness

Darkness sewn in obliqueness
An ocean’s drowning deepness
Chokehold of disparity
Disposed of clarity

Mineswept in the meadows
Of his heart
The unrequited spark
I must leave!!!
I must leave!!!

Before it all
Becomes such!!!
*Before It Becomes Such*

Yummy Brekkie

An Egg McMuffin, hash browns and a coffee
Without this yummy brekkie, my day starts off rocky 
Can't say I'm addicted
But helps me get untwisted
A day without brekkie is like a kick in the floppy

Path To Victory

Into the midst of your situation,
Testify to the sufficiency of God

Into the midst of your crisis,
Speak Truth untwisted

Worship Him
Respectfully,
Intimately,
Truly
Triumphant,
Elevating
No other

The Beast

you fed the beast 
and nursed its growth
till it's devouring your spirit,
absorbing your soul

now out of control
it obliterates the night
massive paws sweeping
the stars from your sky

unable to stop the
apocalypse that builds
a tourniquet untwisted
as the truth is revealed

too late to impede, the
demolition goes on
the beast you created
destroying your love

Twisted Or Untwisted

Twisted or untwisted,
distorted, coiled, warped,
entwinded and interwoven,
aberrancies cavort.

Sleeping in the sun room,
mattress on the floor,
we thought that was cool then,
back in 1974.

The sun's glare woke me up,
but I kept my eyes shut tight.
Still, with my eyelids firmly closed,
the room was brutally bright.

I was just relaxing there,
waking and clearing my head,
when I felt my cat step up
on the foot of my pallet-like bed.

I felt the weight of him walking
and I heard his happy purr.
He laid down between my legs
and I stretched to stroke his fur.

He started "making buscuits"
on the inside of my thigh,
his claws were out, it hurt a bit,
and he was kneeding a little high.

My right hand was still petting him-
my right hand was on his head,
and then I opened up my eyes
and my stomach lurched with dread.

I stared in disbelief because
HE WAS NO LONGER THERE,
he had simply vanished,
was gone into thin air.

I have no explanation,
it's too twisted to untwist,
but I swear this really happened,
and my awe of it persists.

Twisted and untwisted,
reality's illusions,
it all adds up cosmically,
to circumspect confusion.

Choking On Jealousy

Face to face , eye to green eye , introduction to an unknown
      I pray this concept, unjustified :  never to be cloned
           A seed planted, nurtured :  is now fully grown 
An aroma filling my Heart with doubt,  I feel so empty : alone

I ask : does my Heart speak lies to YOU ;  my most BELOVED
      Is my Heart twisted around  the evil envy of Jealousy?
        How can I say with all my Heart :  I LOVE YOU
Without a green eyed monster raising its ugly hackles inside YOU

Will  Michael Jordan’s contest : “Twisted” untwist YOUR Heart
Untwist my Heart ;  so it can say  “ I LOVE YOU Barbara Jean “
                         With no Jealous repercussions

                      Dedicated to Barbara Jean Gorelick

Zig-Zag

Reverse this polarity, my hormonal engine
Playing my body like a baby grand
Rough and rugged, Jerry Lee Lewis
Succumbs to Louis Armstrong in Platinum
Blues verses boogy woogy
An invariable blender, shaken not stirred
Keeping me up nights
Tapping my toes to the teardrops


entered for consideration in MJ's contest, "Let's get untwisted"

Perfect Imperfection

I’m perfectly imperfect, 
And to busy for the tears.
Losing my best friend,
Has had me twisted up for years.
·
I’m perfectly imperfect,
On my life’s winding road.
Finding the grace of God,
Helped me to lighten the load.
·
I’m perfectly imperfect,
The way God made me to be.
Through Him, I’ve untwisted myself,
And massage my soul with poetry.
·
I’m perfectly imperfect,
Set free by my Divine connection.
Through Him, I help you,
With my perfect imperfection.

Twisted To Untwisted

Twisted to Untwisted
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Twisted and confused.
Wanting to understand.
Idealized life view. 
Steadfastly bewildered. 
Twisted and confused. 
Endless unresolved fear. 
Dark shadows hovering. 

Twisted and confused 
Oh, my Lord, please give death!

Under every rock shame-
Nothing good could abound. 
Twisted and confused
Withering fallen soul. 
Idealized view crushed. 
Self-esteem buried whole. 
Twisted and confused. 
Endless self-hate taunted. 
Decided to let God….

Written for Michael Jordan’s contest.

Don'T Worry Baby

my life's tolls had unfold
was thirty eight or so

had to make some life's decisions
with fine tuned perssions

whether to keep this unborn child
or abort it and carry burden for a long while

was ready to tell the world the news
father was not happy and left my heart feeling blue

first words right out his mouth abort or we were through
twenty years given what was I suppose to do

even with my stomach illness I did not come unglue
I knew she was heaven sent and odds were going to be few

I was catholic and I just could not do
So I chose the latter and now me and the father are through

For theres no feeling in the world like holding your baby so brand new
And watching her grow into a young lady and having a family too
