We were unravelled
so we could see.

We were unbound
so we could feel.

We were untied
so we could flee.

We are undone
so we could heal.

To be necessary is
to have purpose in essence.
Disavowed from senses
of contingent dependence.

Disallowed from connection
in simplest of form,
the necessary are
to be dead and too born.

Existing in realm
of support for all else,
with no reason at all
in helping themselves.

To be necessary is
to have purpose in essence;
contingency aiding
with iris virescent.
James M Vines Nov 2016
In a land where dust blows over hard lifeless ground and children cry in their mothers arms. Hope is a luxury and want is an ever real fact of life. As mindless hate filled people battle over table scraps, while the innocent and the forgotten lay in want. Despite the best efforts of the brave and the selfless, the help seems to never be enough. On any given day, people are grateful for a piece of bread and clean water to drink, yet we take these things for granted. So do not forget the blessings you hold dear, for they can be taken away in a moment by the hateful and the selfish. Eternal vigilance is the price that must be paid, and reverent thanks is what heaven requires lest our land fall into despair and want and we too have little to be thankful for.

In that particular moment
I wished for nothing but
To abandon my existence as a human
And become one with the tones
Of the Lord's strings
Indeed.

We'll never be good enough for
Some of the people
Anyway

Is it worth?
All in all is all we are.

A faint wheeze
Running through my lungs
When there's nothing else to hear

I'll drown in silence
Without the sound of you
And find solace in death so near
Without you the poetry's gone.

Loving me is not-
An option, its necessary,
So love me always !
Thomas Maltuin Aug 2015
are you there,
were you killed?

are you hiding,
were you hurt?

I'd feel better

knowing

if you would return

You are a gift

I don't deserve

to have you

Without you,

I'll be

What I always was

Is just

that

which

I

Fear

Love is like water:
Necessary. We can't live without it.
It seeps through even the smallest of spaces,
Unaffected by darkness and emotion, withstanding all else.
It has been here since the beginning and will be here until the end.
When all else fails there is always water,
There is always love.

Love is like water,
And I'm dehydrated.

Flying over a field of red flowers,
These wings of doom threaten.

Away they may vanish now,
For a pretty sight they make not.

The wings are not of flesh & bones,
They are of metals that threaten.

Carrying not a casual bird they are,
But engines of war and agents of death.

Men guiding like agents of the Devil,
Not like motherly angels of the God.

In contrast with the roses below,
They don't give elegant poses above.

Silent death sweeps closely overhead,
Among the roses readies our death bed.
The above poem was inspired by a photograph that Poet Gary Liles shared on Facebook.
