"inhibited" poems
good morning, my angel my living lullaby i glide across the fairest skin, you are the fairest one of all. Good morning, my mother my broken candle you gave me the wax that has melted on many tablecloths i feel I have lost you now, as I had lost you then. Good morning, my first love my little bridge your mittens were warm when I needed heat when I was so cold the tears froze onto my cheeks. you ran me a bath a being of divinity we held each other in your father’s tub and laughed at the bubbling abundance, burgeoning in overflow. I wake to the puddle of your memory That has grown since we last met, since I have wept For the love I have not kept in place. Good morning hindered lover, who worships me in forbidden light a thousand songs have yet transpired born from a single thought of you. Inhibited inspiration, camouflage constellation, I kiss you now though I will always be Years away from where you lie. Good morning dear father, a forester Braver than the lone wolf and his solitary howl. The lesson of the arthritic toe shows you True appreciation for the pain of existence. You are the most loyal flame, my gratitude is overwhelming Each time I embrace the past and the mistakes, unconscious From the broken record And its echo off the wall. Good mourning to the loss of a lover, an ephemeral flame. Good mourning to the death of a friendship, to the longing for a **** Good mourning to the future in its casket, That awaits a new life for me In song.

Good Mourning
Look upon all my beauty I'm a traditional rhyme Written so elegantly Perfect in every line! No, look at my free verse style! I'm not prissy or fussy I'm free as a bird with a free spirit That flies within the realm Of so many possibilities and directions! Much less inhibited than you! Nonsense! The camera flashes! They are taking pictures of me! Lovely, poetic form of old Style, as pure as can be! You're out of your mind! You traditional snob! All the oohs and aahs Are really all for my poetic genius! Move aside! And so they soon got into a tussle, words flying everywhere....that is according to Free Verse Traditional Rhyme felt so robbed Free Verse, you trouble maker! You may be the rage of the day! But to me you are a faker! Free Verse had such a harsh choke hold On the throat of Traditional Rhyme I can rhyme too... but not like you! Perfectly? No! Not all of the time! Traditional Rhyme called a truce Finally accepting both ways Sure, she had grace and she had style But Free Verse would not go away

Rhyme and Free Verse Walk the Fashion Runway
procrastinating is my hobby, ask someone if you don't believe me , baby i lay around as i please & work at my own leisure, incredibly you fail to understand i am me and i love more then like the way that i am- gorgeous courageous coco golden skin, painfully i know you feel the threat of my momentous appeal keeps you you & yeah you -- mystified. guaranteed your days are filled with shock and frustration, haa haa hee how very exciting to me seeing your not as experienced as I, unlicensed to tame what i'd never give freely, repetitiously you've played the game, failure must be a sweet pill sallowed whole huh? adequately i compel my strengths -- my naivety makes my appeal that more interesting, call me uniquely imperfections rarely made in to what many can never comprehend, my life is my dialogue to my very own daily soap opera la di da da-- it's more then my sultry walk as i pass you on bye. in this corrupted jungle you have to win or be inhibited by what others may call taboos, whew weee your so serious, chasing prey only to tease-- lingering doubts? catch me-- i bet you can't. innocently the line's been crossed yet speak not of what should be! only-- this-- is what you'll know ; procrastinating is my hobby! I Am The Lioness! (some may be lost on what i wrote&say; but ok lol) Always Me Ayeshah

I Am The Lioness (a true Leo)
The undeniable sense of presence, seen through the realms of deception... Amidst the very capillaries strung infinitesimally throughout our bodies... Overwhelming at times, the very concept cripples our thoughts, Circling us back to seemingly endless questions - Endless roads without a point of reference, Leaving us standing in a dark crowded space searching for the unreachable light... Yet, the meaning behind the unseen presence forces the deluded mind to forge on - Stretching our morbid ideals even further... Leaving us the inhibited beings we possess... Still concluding at plebeian answers - Fitting, yet discouraging... The common capacity of our restraining thought process, leaves us almost hopeless to accumulate the information needed to fulfill our determining destination... But it is that feeling, That inkling sensation of the undeniable presence that keeps us searching - That gives us hope... And in that minute innovative state we dwell on what could be...

Undeniable Presence
In whiskey sodden dreams I feel silky bedclothes encompass my flimsy pretty negligee clad body Whimsy takes a hold, bold dreams drape my mind My dimly lit boudour welcomes the vibrancy of the dream Unblushingly dis inhibited by the sweet sickly whiskey I feel frisky, risky, risqué I want the silkiness of the dark dimly lit night to ignite, I want flimsy, gipsy, filthy, ***** love. In whiskey sodden dreams I feel my inner ***** in dreams I can open the door.

Whiskey dreams
in the coming months the frost will pass leaving green blades visible and new formed dirt paths daisies and orchids will rise beneath heaven's light but you, the wallflower, will wilt like its still winter, crippled in dismal fright the fear of remaining alone the fear of not knowing when you will become like the proud flowers that stand vibrant and grown but as spring turns to summer and the clouds disappear the wind will pick up, and send another wallflower's pedals through the air so poor wallflower, do not fret your roots have the strength of 1000 roses the kind of beauty that could be carved into statuette   you will survive when there is no rain because you understand loneliness and unprecedented pain so stay calm, oh wavering friend water will still seep through your timid veins and your brilliance will shine, even if its tangled in your inhibited chains

Poor Wallflower, Do Not Fret
Phantom Fierce Pierce For Sally Do have the courage of fear? What! You heard me. Admit that we are all inhabited, Admit that we are all inhibited. Fear, the eleventh plague visited upon the Egyptians, Nothing more paralyzingly complete. Walking down an average day, an average street, A median day, a medium day that a Black disease from whence unknown, And you are a froze shadowed chalk figure Drawn upon the concrete, unable to move. What would you pay, anything, What would you give, everything, Cleanse it all Cut out the incisions That with precision Haunt your every Waking and sleeping moment. The deeds that did not get done, The deeds that cannot get undone, Both your undoing. A plague on both, a plague on me, My plague, unique to me, Free me from this whatever the cost. But it can't be arranged. No devil to sell back the things Of which you are ashamed, No stain stick extant to guarantee success. When the hollow is so great You feel non-existent. But you do not see what I see... Courage, raw and plain, admits These phantoms are not phantoms at all. Those figures try to break you. There is a beach, a path, where you know, Safety. Not easy to get there. The bus schedule unpublished. But the bus line exists. And you have the courage to wait, patiently Until it arrives. There is value here, if you read between the dashes And the dots. I see you for who you are. You are the phantom fiercer piercer. Shown us the way.

Look around you... What is it that you see? You think it's all of nature About the birds and bees... I see a beauty to most unknown One inhibited from life A peaceful reassurance Seen only through my eyes. None other can captivate What before your eyes is shone For deep inside the heart of life... Lives a love to most unknown. You cannot call it as you see it For you see not what it is My heart has the sight to see... What before my eyes shall give.

Some days he'll dress in new or old But with a smile always so sharp His walking charm will take a toll When the woman turns to dark His snaking charm strolls to the pub Where the slags and twonks *** around Nothing but warm hands and pint to grub Where the woman he sees is found She spits bleeding words from her filthy mouth As he scorns them back with his hand The red only cries when she screams in doubt The snake gives her his looking glan Someone thought to call for help But no help had ever arrived The barman listened to the poor woman's yelp People pretend she never cried The smiling man of ruthless charm Walks down the stairs of death Vehemence covered with blood and sin Whereas mannequin slags spread grim In forms of angelic old and new His inhibited shape had grew More evil it grew as his smile knew His deliverance was joyful harm He preached to barman to slags to twonks His ways of nature so brash and ****** From snake to wolf to man dressed well Even a preacher of God his allure so grand The cunting ***** bemoaned downwards Dampened with red paint shrieked foreign words With her limbs cut open, "Deliverance is God" Finding it was the charming man who smiled as a sod

Joyful Harm
Read the words upon the page Depicting how was such an age That, then, ensconced in everyday In truth, permitted Hell to play. Where age with all it's wisdom gleaned Should logically be rightly seen As guidance for emerging youth Where past mistakes impart as truth. Though tragically, bereft as seen, The actuality now doth scream For youth doth relegate to grass Aged wisdom's pearls.... as shattered glass. Dispersed amid the flotsam tide Lies that which salves salvation's hide, Lies that which wreaks of God's works, twist, Dispersed through cold, Alzheimer mist. The waste of ancient eyes at rest Expelled, devoid of life, at best But should a crisis start to burn Old minds may co-opt young to learn? History makes the paradigm That thumps the lesson home, with time, In squandering the wealth of age We burn the story, tear the page. Now delegated to the shelf Immersed in indignation's self Old wallow in blue pity's taint Inhibited by self restraint. But then the moment comes around When happenstance, by chance compound, When youth, of clear complexioned face, May stumble into mute disgrace.... Thence whilst the Angel trumpets grace Whence in that vacant, silenced space, Then flows of wisdom tumble thine From lips that spake in ancient time. Knowledge held in Holy Grail Empirically forth then, when regaled, As pomp and circumstance decreed Should all, combined then, .... be agreed? M. 9th December 2022 Foxglove@Taranaki,NZ.

Prohibited and inhibited from the start. Like a shooting star lighting up the night sky. Your heart and mine talked, our minds instantly connected. The tears from my eyes with your hands collected. Our love is not right they say, Our  love is misunderstood. Another day goes by and we are still standing side by side. Those who misunderstand try to to fill us up with guilt. We would rather feel ourselves up with pleasure. The love we feel they cannot begin to measure. I am you and you are me so they cannot deny that we are meant to be.

Strife wields the knife after your rifles raise high, No need for a biblical sign since it takes only a few to steal the spot-light And only one to spoil a life, The notions of potentially prospering a home, Planting a peaceful place, Where pigmentation does not define your days, But the way in which you prove yourself, Because this is truly an extraordinary species, Hindered by man’s inherent ignorance, An internal enemy described as grace, Barbarians breeding thieves, Inhibited from sanity, Inebriated with fury, Incubated in hatred, As you continually cultivate such cruel beings, Some individuals can defy the trend, Some of Adam’s relatives rose because they knew the knuckles could do so much more than listen to a serpent, From their roots of savagery, It’s in the blood to be a parasite, But it is in the genes to eradicate these devilish deeds, Imaging the possibility like a dead-head hippy, The chance to see a society, Distancing itself from the armory, Poverty pushes people to find relief via a knife, Causing those governing eye’s to raise their rifles high, Forgetting to sight the white of their eyes, And turning bystanders into enemies.

Complex S.I.C
Scunthorpe is justly famous for its ugliness And the rampant lasciviousness of its inhabitants; With what horror I recall encountering a gent there, A seriously senior slapper, widely acclaimed as The least inhibited pensioner in northern Lincolnshire. In my gilded youth I'd wandered into the bar Of some grotty hostelry and got propositioned by this old **** On the pretext of offering to gift me fifty quid He dragged me upstairs and ravished me totally, Showing his elderly anatomy 's most private parts In prurient abandon. Afterwards, I wondered how long Before the myriad love bites on my buttocks would fade?

Scunthorpe Nightmare
Conversation inhibited, Yet also free of constraint, Small talk a challenge, In depth conversation my forte And interrogation my ally Bombarding others with quick fire questions, ‘You’re too deep’ it has been said more than once As I reveal too much once again. Misunderstanding social cues, Eye contact a no no, ****** expressions a blur, Tone of voice a trigger, Hence emotions a minefield. Literal listening, Literal speaking, Leading to sense of humour bypass, Don’t waste your innuendos, irony and sarcasm on me, Direct speaking is what wins the day. Overwhelming sensory overload, Confusion, Misunderstanding, Mishearing, Tendency towards negativity, Introversion, A war of words Inside my head Pouring out my mouth, Tearing me apart And those whom I love. Now working hard to change the script, To be aware of the impact of deficiencies, defensiveness and quirkiness, To remain level headed and mindful As I alternate between tiptoeing and running roughshod Through the labyrinth of life.

The Labyrinth of Life
This independence they speak of seems like a myth I dipped my toes  into the vast waters of the reality of life Only to be overpowered by the immensity Making me retreat back into this place Where I have remained Incarcerated inside of myself Just a conglomerate of disorders Inhibited by chemical imbalances Needing constant reassurance Like a child Pathetic My desire for nothing less than perfection outside of this unreality making me cling on to apron strings That should have been severed many a moon ago

I'm sleeping, dreaming, suffering sensory deprivation Inhibited, relaxed, circadian rhythms coursing through REM, renewing cells, awaiting the terror of the night. I wake, here you come, slowly, announcing your presence Until you stand over me I cannot move, immobile I cannot scream, mute I cannot fight, struggle or defend I feel you, looming above me Thrashing will only alert you to my knowing of you I calm my breathing, relax my posture, think of the coming sun Advertising my lie that I know you are here. You lean forward I smell your foul, fecund hot breath Your infertile want of me by you, but I want him You are not him Slowly, you pull the sheet down I remain still,knowing that you do not exist A memory of long ago, of my helplessness He, is asleep beside me unaware of you Of your torment night after night I want him to turn in his sleep To face me, take me into a lover's knot Show you my tormentor that you failed Failed when I was 18, and will fail now I'm 39 But, he sleeps the sleep of the innocent You keep trying, night after long night And, I will keep eluding you.

Lacking the control necessary for bending your heart I am not strong enough to break No self-respect no respect for *space. time.* Inhibited by myself. Sit. Stay. Good girl. Lie down. No more good girl. Call my name and I will come In a moment to your side. No thought no care no respect.

beyond the highest skyscraper beyond the apex of Everest Beyond the reaches of the Farthest Stars I have ascended where even angels it does seem, are inhibited and tremble to tread. faster than a beam of light, stronger than a million Atlae holding the spheres on their shoulders I have made the ascent. The dream became a bold reality. The pages of the book opened. Vini, Vidi, Vici.

The vinyl record just rotates in circuits of unforseen loops queued in the unending circles revolved strains of melodies Yet every song remains the same ​stamped of a watered down clef rooted fragile moments of numbness gated inside notions with bricks Even if the sun roars in a trumble she remains that inhibited builder a human, that fragile sort of a woman a protective rooted architect of life
