Free Style Poetry - A Life Unrepressed

 A Life Unrepressed

Lighting surges through a war of disrespectful words, tears descending, wet.  In times of uncertainty, an unknown sadness is out of control, a smile, a gesture; or fear clings to a receptive body.  Words may not bring rest or smiles, the soul deep within knows.

There is no one that can unlock the heart, nothing that can be said or felt.  Thoughts, do not reveal or conceal, disguise the lack of sympathy, place blame and criticize.  Alienate the voice, if only for one moment feel free.  Fate, possession, strife, and life.

The genuine self, forced to obey, despite and un-regarded life blind to the hurt of others will embed hate eternally.  The knowledge of life fire and force, walking down a rough path; deep pain.  No spirit, hate has the power to control, nameless feelings that have conceded to a life unrepressed.  Speak and act so no one will know hidden damage floating down to the soul.

The hidden self, inward strife and following demands; in return, a thousand nothings, all-miraculously give power.   Hide in the depths of the soul; echo speaks of pain.  Lackluster eyes stare, glare, and the words unspoken deafening creating fear.  A bolt of tones, frightening, is piercing ears.

No feeling stirs, the heart laid plain, unaware of a life winding down, no meadows of flowers, no sun, no breeze, and the madness is elusive to all.  No feeling, no respite.  In quietness, the war of mocking words; the tears, the sadness. The thoughts of the sea, the crashing waves; soul and spirit sinking within its wet madness and always stay, stay, and stay.

Too late, love revealed itself in death, and the heart has nothing to say.  Living and moving in disguises, alien, until the end.  Life had nothing to possess, strife, identity.  Blind, uncertainty, life no fire or restlessness, a thirst for the mystery of it all, nameless feelings lived in vain.  The loss, the heart lay open for all to see, the hurt hidden twisted among the rubble of pain.  Yet, after all that, there is tomorrow.

LOVE DEFINED...

 

Love Defined

 

Love thy face a shapeless flame,

A wonderful nothing it claimed

Did I see, as sensation set itself?

Free.  Love steadily gone, a

Choir of seraphs did I hear, as love

Spent within my sphere.

Limiting Time

 

Survival, panorama, prospect, quality of life’s environment, genetics and promises that reveal nothing, the past descends like rain from the sky, washing away all dreams. 

 

Ghost of youth chanting within the soul, paths blocked; evil has spread across the landscape of a lifetime. 

 

Loneliness, love and happiness; limits, boundaries slow down the process of the future.

 

Nevertheless, the future may be shrouded with abundant solitude from where there is no escape.

Reflections of Poetry...#10


Crimson Fields…

 

In a fields of red poppies caressed by a summer

breeze   

surrendering to twilight.

 

A union created by Mother Nature is quickly 

blending dark and daylight.

 

Among the crimson meadow of blossoms

stands an old man watching the sun as its

golden orb begins to

 hide behind a tawny sea.

 

Art brushes, paints and canvas in hand he follows

a narrow trail to his boat anchored at waters edge,

his story now woven in color about life, as he believed

it should be –

 

Peaceful

Contented

Free
