                    Untamable

Coming into entrancing world all
Alone exiting the selfsame way
Love and friendships mere illusions
Filling moments bottomless wishing wells

Whenever uneasy beginning togetherness ends
We find ourselves tragically alone
Bittersweet longing tinged with melancholy
Refreshing springs never dry up

Can I be your pet
Wild feral instincts desperately trusting
Barred caginess sniffing musky change
Powerful feisty nature feigning docility

Tightly reined mustang broken spirit
Spurred maverick finding innermost anima
Cherished keepsakes worth living for
Great enough for diehard willfulness

 


 
          Alone Together


Transport me to another universe
Where mortals have never resided
Unfamiliar territory staking exploratory claims
Dreamscape without borders unlimited scope

Solitude where we're least alone
Everyman's land all trespassers forgiven
Coexistence based on mutual reciprocity
Eternal quest for meaningful significance

Loneliness feeling uncomfortable with self
Not equated to being alone
Emotionally disturbed call to action
Overcoming fear discovering previously unknowns

Uniqueness makes one originally different
Exposing soul cherished silent virtues
Pastoral quiet dispelling societal dictates
Outsider nature begets troubled solace
