"defenceless" poems
Sara L Russell 5/12/2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------ How can birds sing, if taken from the meadow? Cloistered away in silent fear envious of the boundless skies Even her wings are held earthbound defenceless is she, and silent as the grave. ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ What sun may rise for she who walks in shadow, the blackness that makes her disappear hidden away from prying eyes Too fearful to make the smallest sound accepting of pain, and living as a slave. ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

Screaming Blue Purdah
Draped in boundless pride she strolled along the streets, the town's flamboyant prima ballerina. Still little did the debaucher know her. Defenceless she laid as he spanked and clouted her, Her vehement howling and wailing couldn't stop the yanking of clothes. Motionless, emotionless she laid while he plundered and mutilated her body. Vandalised by an uninvited visitor, Incapable of moving her body the ravishing ballerina reclined. The scars he made was not on her body but deep in her soul. That gloomy night whistled away for the sun to flare its first ray. '18 year old violently molested and deceased'. Hence the prima ballerina became a mere newspaper headline.

Prima ballerina
. And I sit there All ear, head to feet Dear Listening to his footsteps As if a Santa Clause waiting for his deer Painting his majesty Through defenceless eyes' pastels Asking for aid, O' holy hands There, hassles I see a purple heart Hiding blue dropes of hopes as if a mask was to keep my face look like mokes Over the balcony Amongst the trees Saw a friendly shadow Of my ever lasting companion, on knees O' Thy honor sir black hat gray shadow! Real illusion, of whom art thee? Chasing me through the looking glass balcony Never mind, promise, not to miss a symphony... . Farzaneh.Qāf

Real Illusion
More fickle than the seasons fragile like thawing ice attached with a firm grip clutching like a baby’s hand. Desperate but never dangerous susceptible yet not defenceless acquiescent, though a fool. They are the simpleton’s that embrace counterfeit fables, illusions of promise And at the end that makes them break

He had a habit of forgetting That the knife should be At his left, Unlike others. Every morning, she would mechanically switch the fork with the knife. When they finished lunch she started clearing up and noticed the knife to his right again. That night, after their routine drew to a close, They talked. Slowly, at first. A touchy subject walks in. It's time. Even as the air is knocked from her lungs, She gets up and scrabbles on the floor. Nails scratching the carpet. Eyes scanning the horizon, now black. Her brain decides to get up, Her body disobeys. Her body disobeys. Isn't that what put her here in the first place? So what if she is pretty? So what if her eyes are sparkling emeralds? Her belly renders her defenceless from his onslaught. Isn't it her fault that it is empty? Isn't she wrong to want independence from him? Mentally, physically, emotionally? He owned her, didn't he? He owned her, didn't he. He explained to her the benefits of obeying. Her pretty face wouldn't have been all those ungainly shades of black. Her eyes wouldn't have been encircled by blue. All she had to do was obey and not tell anyone but obey. Her brain rebelled. Her brain rebelled. Her body, for once, obeyed. She stumbled through the hallway She knocked down her favourite frame- Their daughter on a pony. Kitchen, her sanctuary. She broke her favourite China. Hurled her utensils. "I arranged them last week, you ***** And then she saw them. The knives. The knives. They were inviting   Her hands were pale, waiting. His heart corrupt, hating. "Knives to your left, darling."

Saw a single clover... Peeking out from the crack in the wall. All alone... With no other. Shivering in the wind. Still it braved the unknown. Just to see... What was shown. Touched the single clover. So much courage within something so small, so green and frail. Standing tall in the torrential gale. So much I could take and learn from it. I shall make it my daily inspiration. I shall leave it be. So that on my daily walk back, it could say to me, *"I'm still here, you are too. Let's keep on, keeping on, till our days are through."* On my walk back today, I have looked forward to see the clover I've learnt to adore. Only to find that it had gone missing... It just wasn't there anymore. The crack was vacant... I looked all around. I finally looked down... And there it was on the ground. A twisted corpse of what once was... The storm earlier had ripped it off its perch. The winds had overcome and left it in the lurch. Grounded and defenceless, It quickly became the target of many footsteps belonging to people too oblivious. The clover is dead. But it's still so green. As I looked at it, I imagined what it would have said, *"Keep on, keeping on. You won't truly know... You won't really learn... And life won't show, if you get too afraid of the storm. And then you won't grow. Stick your head out and never be too scared... To see and be a part of the wonders of the world that the universe has infinitely shared."* .

A day will certainly come As sure as we breathe When our creator will ask of us What we did to aid the oppressed On that day As surely as who created you Created me too It will not be about religion but humanity When carefully planned and organised jets Launched rockets To bomb populated refugee camps Schools and apartment blocks At a defenceless opposition Without an air force or navy Heavy weapons or artillery Command or armour **That's not war It's ****** It's cold blooded massacre** As a woman shot in the stomach Gives birth to a cold blue baby And a world across oceans changes channels tuning in to the next world cup champion It was never about taking sides Israel vs Palestine There is a truth To which we must remove the blindfold of ignorance Searching for a voice of right Amongst the cries of pain hatred and anger The sign in a city Where there is too much to see Finding peace amongst people who are not ours Because I see hypocrisy of nations Who stand for human rights But only when the human shares a matching ideology I see hypocrisy amongst media Where a million wounds and shades of blood Are inked into black and white letters Today I read 'An Israelian was killed whilst a dozen Palestinians died' They turned humans into numbers Quantitative data They couldn't possibly de-sensitize it any further I mean look at the verbs in which they phrased that   I see hypocrisy amongst Muslims Who stand equal and united Yet they too turn backs when the interest is not beneficial And the pitiful nation falls divided Whether it is a prayer A strike, a boycott or vigil A protest or petition Maybe even a donation There's a thousand ways to help But very few who do So what did you do? Was it out of sight out of mind for you?

Fingerprints are like relationships they leave a trace. Your fingerprints are all over me The whorls of your prints are seared into my skin Into my soul. I submit each time you touch me set aflame by your caress. Spiral patterns of you criss cross my body, Your body. Sparks of need jump from your fingertips arcing into me, possessing, caressing, they leave me breathless and defenceless to the onslaught that will leave me inevitably, wrecked upon our bed, like a trapped ship on the shore.

Fingerprints
Death is not a destination. Death is encompassing. I smell it when I breath in the rusty stench of blood on my fingers. I feel it in the pain that reverberates with each step as if I had driven a nail into the bottom of my boot and I felt it every time it hit the floor. Death is not a destination. It's woven into the fabric of my skin, using a thread so thin it echoes the line between what makes me a bad person and a good person who does bad things. It echoes the line between life and death  but in a different way to the finishing line of a race because death is not a destination. It's the ball of rage that is fired up within me at the slightest of things. A reminder that I can't ever escape but can't quite tick off my list. Death is not a destination but a feeling deep within me and no matter how far I reach with my sharpened blade I will never find. Besides, I can no longer wish death upon the body I spent painful years learning to love, the defenceless pulse nor my eager heart. Death is not a destination, but it is mine. Whether it be warm or cold it will welcome me. I will be entering myself, the most secret crevices that I found the day the sadness took hold. I will escape. I will be free.

My Destination
He told me we were hanging out with a group but he came up to my door alone said the others couldn’t make it. I said okay and we went to the moonlight playground as he poured ***** down my throat. my body was urging the poison back out as I cried. I ran and I sprinted but the fence seemed enclosing I was stuck in a nightmare all I had were the stars. after that night I didn’t like stars as much. alone I lay there in the wet brown grass rain joining my teardrops I couldn’t see I couldn’t scream. When I thought it was over people started looking at me. they thought I was the ***** and he just hit it and quit it. Haunted by a vampire draining truth down my throat I lost all pieces of myself offering my roaring willpower to him the sweat of his touch infiltrates my defenceless skin but I didn’t scream his ****** hands dragging as if I were *** on wheels. and one day I will be oh- so tall and with my gathered tears i will build a water wall nor paddle nor wind for I will be flying with a cast of all those with prisoner tongues marching behind me.

*** on wheels
It is always difficult to describe depression, There are so many interpretations That people hold, This is my own. You're standing on the cliffs edge, Looking out towards the horizon of life, Then you see the storm clouds rolling in, The thunderous roars of trepidation And the lightning bolts of painful reminiscence Mirroring the silver scars on your skin, Then the mighty winds of worthlessness Hauls you over the edge. The cool air brushes against your face As you descend towards the black water below, Every inch of you is screaming for you to stop But you can't, You have lost complete control and you are weak, Defenceless, Vulnerable, Amidst the whistling winds in your ears You hear the names, the bullying, The cries of disappointment, The reminiscent sound of ***** against porcelain, You hit the water and shatter the surface And you pray that you have stopped, Things will bet better , But instead you continue to sink, Numb, cold, aching, You want to cry but you feel so empty, Like the bitter sting of the salty ocean Has clinged to your skin and draws out The last ounce of feeling you had left to hold on to, You stare at the surface, Wide eyes desperately searching for rescue, The fractured refraction of a flare in the stormy sky, A hand to plunge into the water and pull you out And revive you. I have been fortunate enough to be pulled from The ocean, Revived countless times After feeling like I will spend eternity Living in the shipwreck of my insecurities. It is my duty to scour the world and throw a life ring To every lost soul who deserves to be atop the Cliffs edge where they can once again watch Another hopeful sunrise of hope break on the Mundane horizon.

Some are cast in metal others chipped from stone yet more are shaped by hand in clay what you sculpt, you own. When your arms wrapped around me I felt a process start to render me defenceless 'gainst your sacred art. I yielded to your motion gave my skin up to the blade had no cause to resist the image you had made. My essence pooled in trickles flooding indents as you pressed your fingertips into my flesh there in rapture, I was blessed. I yearned to feel the chisel every scrape an evolution each fetter of the holy rasp my growing absolution. I stand in gleaming marble posed by you alone forever on this pedestal inert upon my throne. In fatal love I slumber and wishes are for fools in luminescent, aching stone naked of your tools. Each tapping point a petal, the slamming maul of lust where once caressed by chisels now I gather dust. I dream of you approaching to polish me anew so I may shine in constant thanks at being made by you.

Trauma lives on in our bodies In sometimes unexpected places It doesn’t just reside In the malfunctioning lump Of electrified meat Encased in my skull Each part of my body Seems independently determined To avoid To protect me from Vulnerable or defenceless moments When the speaker at a training event Asks the participants in the room To close their eyes Partake in a thought experiment The trauma resides in my eyelids Which I cannot will to shut I stare down at the floor Eyes open in unwilling resistance The simple act of closing them In a room full of strangers Is more than my body can bear When going on long car rides The trauma resides in my jaw Compulsively chewing gum To stop myself falling asleep In the passenger seat Maybe I can retain Some small semblance of control Over my body Over what happens to it As long as I remain awake As long as I remain alert The trauma resides In that small space near my nape Where your fingers curled That one time Sinking into my flesh Leaving marks for days On the rare occasions I let anyone close enough To touch me there It feels as though My entire spine erupts Shooting out jagged barbs of panic Isn’t it funny how we can train our brain To forget things To bury things where they cannot be retrieved But they will still linger on In another form Imprinted into our very bones and muscles Sometimes I find myself thinking How nice it will be To finally be free of this body Which stopped feeling like my own Long ago Do what you like with my body When I am dead I tell people As though They hadn’t already while I was alive

The eagle searches, circling, senses strum like spider silk. Sorrow’s scent slides up on a sea breeze. A solitary slave spits sullenly into the spray. Silently, suddenly, the sentinel streaks down. Beak breaks skin, breaches bone, crimson blots the ocean’s foam. Defenceless, relentless, the bird blurs in a barrage of blood. Banished, betrayed, the ravaged titan sways -   between the rocks that form his cage. His foe retreats; a closing caw as crooked claws cleave meat. Head bowed in defeat, our hero strains as chains bind hands and feet. Enduring bonds cut deep and bleed him bittersweet. Cast against the crags, this castaway’s castigated cries call out to no-one. Chastised, he squints with hollow eyes towards a lifetime of the bird’s reprise.    Furious. Fists flex, thrashing against his fortress. Face furrowed into a frown he flings forward and for once finds his foot… unfettered.   Bindings broken, his bonds bite terra firma,   as first a foot and then a hand finds favour. Boundless, he bellows at the sky as the flotsam of his freedom floats on by. Reprieved. Aggrieved. He is restless in release. An errant righteous line repeats.   Relentless in its beat, it rings out like raw steel on teeth. A ricochet that disturbs his sleep “Is this victory, or defeat?” Racked by reminiscence, his reality and responsibility remain. Warped roots rammed down with rock-filled boots. Resistance seems obtuse against such reoccuring fruit. Reluctant, resigned, he rattles out a sigh -   the last gasp of this transitory high. Reaching for the rope and tack he re-binds the knots that hold him back.   With one last glance towards the past he hoists his soul upon the mast. Ceaselessly. Senselessly. The sentinel streaks down.

I am sharpening my teeth, preparing for the taste of your flesh, I am hesitant to take the first bite, but I have a hunger that nothing else will satisfy, (revenge, revenge) I am a creature of hate, now, I am what you made me, what you moulded me into with your bare hands. Toss back the sheet and lay down your gun, show them what you really are, open up the scars you've forged into my skin, branded into my thighs, white hot and stinging. You say it's what I asked for, with my *** soaked lips, but you knew how the story would end before you had even seen me knew the weight of your hand smothering a scream you came to me armed and I was defenceless but I am no longer gunless my bullets will hit your heart, and I will forget your smell, I will shake of your stale breathe I'm not here to forgive you (This story is mine)

The Taste of Flesh
As the sun reaches it zenith & the moon becomes full, Soldiers are deployed at various point, Allowing their thought to wander away into ephemeral violence, Well armed, Red pointers at human sight, killing in the pretence of liberation, Defenceless civilians murdered in sight, I don't have the adequate vocabulary to constructively & emotionally create that atmosphere, As a poet they don't mind if I make a sound But it's a real problem if I ever get too loud, It enrages me, I'm bitterly miffed, Imagine the agony, stress, depression & tension they are going through, Let's be factual, Their based desire & legitimate purpose is to associate ,affiliate & standardize us as terrorist, They come in front of our tv & give us speech our forefathers have never heard of, Humanity in it eternity have been blindfolded & deviated from the truth, They have become the fixed & Luminous center around which innumerable lifestyle revolves, Civilization will not lead mankind to insanity, It feels good to be in power , But a day will come when they will ponder, reflect & introspect, but their reflection will be to no avail, Reflect over what I say, In silence & tranquillity, We may be on a Long arduous journey, But victory is to the oppressed, Categorically & selectively speaking , It will become a practical reality, Innocent souls are been lost everyday, In pakistan,Syria,Iraq,Iran Yet the conference continues, Killings intensifies, Women are murdered, Fathers are slaughtered, Kids are held captive some rigorously excluded, Without them labouring humanity searching for peace will perish, It's a sad time we live in, Educated leaders with no heart of human sympathy, Acting upon their based desires & ego, You may call this character assassination, I call it supreme words of justice Only time will tell who is the true terrorist

Here is a tale of blood, guts and war The war is over but its still raging within I can hear the bombs going off,hear the screaming as they hit the ground. I’m back in Rhode Island Street, Highland Park, Detroit. War has turned my heart to stone. Now that you're gone I live alone, in this empty home remembering every word you've said. Didn't bother to learn to become a father, old school all the way. A 72 gran torino on display, I lived to work Retired from 30 years in the auto plant. Slowly the world has passed me by. More black, more brown, more slant eyed Still I know right from wrong It’s the same here as in Hong Kong When coward gangs seek power and control I have to let them know they are digging themselves a hole The weak and defenceless look with tired eyes They let themselves become victims of a drive by shooting I never express feelings of regret or remorse In the night I made a plan Go without a knife or gun in my hand defeat my enemy with my brain Making them believe I was insane In an attempt to take on the entire gang Yet they listened to my brave harangue So I reached into my jacket for a lighter They reacted like any street fighter Opened fire to stop this threat The church bells ringing My body now in a casket If you listen closely you can hear me say i'm the one to finish things

War
We rest deeply within our cote laying the fields of quiet and peace. The silence that lives underneath an opera singers voice. In our stillness we float up with a sweetness of the finest essence After the storm Noah sends us out to fulfill a dream to find the promise land. As we search all direction we carry no frustration as our paths are completely open. Our love has a steely aggressive streak cutting through any emotional obstacle.With a light but forceful peck we find all our boundaries broken. As we slide through every challenge like a train running through a mountain. Hidden behind an invisible wall we find our isolated heart feeling broken. But with our beak a few light taps   and a wave like  wand we find all our spell are broken.   As the little self guards all his inner wealth, but another voice singing , " start sharing" as all casts are now broken. On the edge a little chick looking down staring and just standing with a little voice saying don't let go keep on holding.   But a higher force with a heavy boot just shoves us off, while screaming, search for something higher. So a little bird starts tumbling with desperate little wings that feverishly flapping red face fluttering. But caught in the unexpected currents of life winds push us lower. Then though all of a sudden like an orchestra that has just found its conductor or a singer finding her voice we start flying. Defenceless little birds I find ourselves powerless to the forces from above as we are caught but not in a cage but in LOVE. My wings out stretching my heart opening I find my tiny self racing like a rocket into an infinite space. With my love inside my breast you will feel the tickles of feathers inside your chest. Fumbling and bumbling chest filled with love we find no room inside our home. With chicks bursting we find our heart full of explosion. The endless love of a dove letting go into freedom rising steaming just keeps on evaporating. With this incredible task a little birds cover the world, keep streaming from a magicians hat they keep on appearing. As we sink into feathery arms we are delicately warmed and like a radiator we start glowing.    Love is the hope that hangs in the air like the star of David. So when you snuggle into the love of a dove you will find yourself anchored at the bottom of the sea but also high in the sky above. So let us travel in the wings of a doves love

On the edge a little chick looking down staring and just standing with a little voice saying don't let go keep on holding.   But a higher force with a heavy boot just shoves us off, while screaming, search for something higher. So a little bird starts tumbling with desperate little wings that feverishly flapping red face fluttering. But caught in the unexpected currents of life winds push us lower. Then though all of a sudden like an orchestra that has just found its conductor or a singer finding her voice we start flying. Defenceless little birds I find ourselves powerless to the forces from above as we are caught but not in a cage but in LOVE. My wings out stretching my heart opening I find my tiny self racing like a rocket into an infinite space. With my love inside my breast you will feel the tickles of feathers inside your chest. Fumbling and bumbling chest filled with love we find no room inside our home. With chicks bursting we find our heart full of explosion. The endless love of a dove letting go into freedom rising steaming just keeps on evaporating. With this incredible task a little birds cover the world, keep streaming from a magicians hat they keep on appearing. As we sink into feathery arms we are delicately warmed and like a radiator we start glowing.    Love is the hope that hangs in the air like the star of David. So when you snuggle into the love of a dove you will find yourself anchored at the bottom of the sea but also high in the sky above. So let us travel in the wings of a doves love

she was a desperado's tale waiting to be told she had it nailed down to the cold hand drop dead eye she swaggers into the song with a loud preamble that she will brook no delay in the proceedings the fat man just laughed and broke into another barrel wine soaking his paris hewn three piece suit with jewels encrusted by the professional eye her drunken violin sweeps you along the winding road of the heroes return sends you crashing through the pearly gate and walks you through the dancing beggars their rags a fine linen their riches a feast of a frenchmans table and the sweetest and darkest of wines her drunkards song weaves in and out of your conscience with her theft of jewels too many to count with her rescue of babes defenceless in the wood she makes her rough love a lullabye she makes her hard bent hand a soft caress she is a feast to the starving mans eye by the final hours of night the fat man was laughing his way through the very last barrel of wine his soaked suit no longer such fine thread his poorman eye no long longer filled with such easy mirth he knows she will come collect her due at the end of her song the henchmen of karma are approaching with the steady thud of steel shod boot on the cobblestone and the fat mans laugh slowly dies in a puddle of regrets and well wishers sorrows her song was over and it was time to pay the piper he tries to run but as we all know you cant outrun yourself

henchmen in the drunkards song
People will keep talking But I don't have to listen Others will continue to expect And define my existence They will try to take away What's left of my childlike innocence And even then, the things I do Are still none of their business How can I feel okay? When they become restless From me not conforming to their way They only see it as reckless Their shallow mouths spew words Bringing upon damage that is endless With the naive intentions to help Yet, why do I feel more helpless? Childhood criticisms cling to me Leaving me defenceless Whenever the guards of my walls Become tired and careless I thought it'd be easier to live If I was just passive and selfless Until I was driven to the point Where I couldn't tell what was precious I have now accepted that it is okay That I do not share the same ethics The differences found in me Should not make me so apologetic

Shallow Whispers
A conflict with only one soldier Wearing no armour but Stripped down and defenceless. Carrying a sword only intended for one. A lone soldier A lone in conflict.

A lone soldier
VIII Captain or Colonel, or Knight in Arms, Whose chance on these defenceless dores may sease, If ever deed of honour did thee please, Guard them, and him within protect from harms, He can requite thee, for he knows the charms That call Fame on such gentle acts as these, And he can spred thy Name o’re Lands and Seas, What ever clime the Suns bright circle warms. Lift not thy spear against the Muses Bowre, The great Emathian Conqueror bid spare The house of Pindarus, when Temple and Towre Went to the ground: And the repeated air Of sad Electra’s Poet had the power To save th’ Athenian Walls from ruine bare.

It’s my 18th birthday today, love. I beat you. I finally did it. Remember baby, how we used to fight, We used to play and compete And how I used to whine, Never gaining a single victory. You always gloated, Always rubbed it in my face. In the end you always told me, “My biggest achievement is you babe” and tears would fall down Staining my cheeks. These tears never went away, But you did. Baby you promised! You said we were forever! So why did you leave me defenceless?! I don’t like this game baby. You win, I lose. please don’t let my agonising anguish continue. I wanted to win darling, But not like this. Not with you sleeping Six feet In a ***** damp ditch.

Let those that shoot for fun be The hunted, let us shoot them not A death shot, that would be a hunt Over to soon where is the fun.    It will do as they bleed to death, not Knowing why, or by who, but the last Breath is of blood and regret this is Not fun.   Let those that hunt in the name of fun, let us get are arrows our rifles, Teeth or guns. Watch them run, through the woods As they know now what they did to those defenceless ones, now coming Full circle Watch, "BANG" Missed, plenty of ammo left, its just The start of this fun. The trail we take, we find are prey scope to the eye, "BANG" Grazed is this hunter become the hunted O'well they,ll bleed out a little easier To hunt my prey.    Blood drops easy to follow to find Where you have gone, injured you Are slower no where to run. Easy when they can not run, I find You slumped next to a tree, Screaming, Pleading, Shouting Out profanities, why me what have I done, I smile this is an easy **** as the lion roars Rips out your throat the deed is done. The hunt over I did make it quick you Died in minutes, now feel the pain of Those you used to hunt to die alone, To choke on your own blood Nothing did the animals do, They did nothing wrong Just on the wrong side of an idiots Power trip with a loaded gun.
