UNFETTERED Serpents rise in the distance Beyond the eyes of fallen Chance. I wade in the Inexistence, Never so much as giving glance. To bite the hands of Time I starve, My soul may rot, my dreams may die... But never shall those wrigglers carve Upon my heart another lie. And never shall my trust imbue To heed the likes of those once held In dire embrace, if believed true, To meet that thirst ever unquelled! Not voiceless shackles donned in grief, Nor echoes flailing in the wind, Nor dreams withered in disbelief Would ever see the words unpenned. For all once stolen remains gone, If by some vapid joy embraced, Or stoic penance ever drawn To but hide smiles long since replaced. Michael Anderson |

hi MICHAEL, What a pleasure it is to come across a poem you've penned to start my nite... I'm left speechless after reading this twice (yeah 2x)... You have a talent to weave words thru verse that this reader truly appreciates...  Coco |

Grief and resentment poignantly portrayed... and yet... refusal to regret what was offered no matter its fate... This reminds me of one of my very favorite poems, Invictus "My head is bloody, but unbowed." Excellent! |

Yanno I had just formed the "Dead Poet's Society" and made you an honourary memeber, and voila up you turn! Great poem, miss ya oodles. Does being in love make you write less poetry? Or is it all in some journal somewhere longing to be shared? *hugs* ~Heather |

"But never shall those wrigglers carve Upon my heart another lie." Of course, quoting the lines I find the most moving in any of your poems would be an exercise in futility, as there are so very many. This, however, in particular, tugged me. A classic piece of writing, to be sure, my friend, and one that I consider myself fortunate to have had pleasure with. Take care, ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Michael this poem is a jewel, it sparkles in all it's facets. Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
