Unbound I

Unbound they lie

Before me like so many splayed petals

Seconds tick by and still I hold on

As the streets fill with unwilling people

The insides of the unbound

Spill over

and their mornings are never finished

as if the days are unborn again and again

I would wish to explain what I try

And say

Unbound here upon the floor she lay

Unbound thoughts rose as if the mist of a new day

But we are stuck here

Oh so far from the holden way

If I could but just stay

Unbound like we were that day

Scattered across the floor

Our clothes lay

Yes.. I am shy to tell all and say

How we connected our bodies

As if we were some wild, erotic play

Across the covers.. limpid

Thoughts still flicker in my mind

I would but tell you the unbound

Where exactly in the world’s soul

I would have you

Yes I would with our parlay

One last first time

Try but for unborn words

Un-pronounceable really like wingless birds

That have trickled from my mouth

Timid to show themselves fully

Unbound from what was and what could be

Touched upon the innards of our clay

Yes.. this is what I would wish to say

Plunge on, a penultimate time into our foray

Cast aside all the unboundless gray

And rock with our simple, lovely, tragic play

Yes they lay here.. unbound
