Hold me in place
Hold me down
Hold me close before I slip away
Hear me out
Hear me scream
Hear me when I call out in a dream
See me off
See me cry
See me as my soul becomes unmoored
Remember me
Remember what was real
Remember things the way they used to be

Google drizzles AI slop
out of shape I’m bent

earth
held in quiet
the sea
without limit
in a few words:
salt, air,
wind, grey, blue
between them
meaning forms
a #drizzle
that carves rock
speech
opens a passage
what was sealed
stands again
on the tongue:
life everywhere
enough to #unmoor

"Captain on the bridge!"
"Thank you, Mr Kahn. Ms Cho, #unmoor the ship."
"Unmoor the ship, aye."
"Slow impulse ahead."
"Slow impulse ahead."
"Hm. Something's missing..."
"Ma'am?"
"From real sea sailing... Ah. Set the course and... Anchors aweigh."
"An...? Ah. Anchors aweigh, Ma'am!"

Eyes #unmoor
Animal to slaughter
Machine pressing in—
Guttural laughter
Blood #drizzles
Into the cogs
Head lolling back—
A splintered log
Dreams perish
Organs stutter
What's left finds
The gutter
Butcher #bends
Assessing kill
He loves his job
Men eating man
For the thrill
#vss365 #horror
So slight a #drizzle
Can cause the soul to #unmoor
And drift out alone;
We wish away waves, to be
Back in the peaceful harbor.

I wasn’t called to depart like
the ferry, to #unmoor in lazy
motions, casting off lines like
a shaggy seal
shaking off sleep.
Still, I covet the strand like
a barnacle as the tide swells,
storm prying line from cleat until
I spin anchorless into the waves.
Yet, both us float.

Incomplete Circuit
Can they further
Disconnect from reality,
Or murder
their own dignity;
Unmoor themselves
from unhinged decrees,
Adore bookshelves
that they’ve emptied?

Background: grayed-out blue and red brick wall. Foreground: poem "Industrial Dreams In the factory resurrection like clockwork the quixotic unmoored the swell of the island Refusing to be neatly packaged as grinning quaint kooks, exclusive tourist attractions. Instead like clouds of bees they swarmed the decrepit, the befouled rats’ nests of bricks,seeing renewal ahead neatly seizing life in their hands. The best of them, asbestos took, and mycotoxins the weakest. EchoGnomics"

My life has been long, full of triumphs and failures. I have withstood many storms, and none of them have managed to #unmoor me.
But this betrayal, this treachery perpetrated by my most trusted and most loved companion has set me adrift. I’m now lost and bereft, with no harbor in sight.

We cut the tie We set adrift 'Neath starry sky On tidal lift I'd longed for home A fabled berth No more to roam The weary earth For you my love I'd stay aboard Strange stars above A life unmoored Though sirens sing Of harbors true Of golden rings And ribbons blue My heart you steal A severed line A steady keel Your hand in mine

on our father’s eyes
the sky
fails us
the stars
go dark

as bait
so adrift

I wish I had more time
Life is the ultimate adventure
Every single day is out to get ya
Can never tell from one moment to forever
What the hell is going on
Where what you do will get ya
Every waking minute
Slips into dreaming mirror
One walks on board
The night ship
Ready to unmoor
I #demand payment this #week
that's not enough notice
#unmoor your boat and sell your spot
but where will I go?
the ocean is large, enjoy its #nature
but I'll go mad out there, mad I tell you!
no more than you are now

Trump's behavior is widely deplored.
Yet his wrongdoing's largely ignored
By Republican pols
Who are vile wind-up dolls.
They're the reason our nation's #unmoored.

my captivated heart-strings
will always be tied to moonlight
the essence of my soul
tethered to sunset skies
but that wondrous gaze from him
is the only transcending marvel
to unmoor my enchanted sighs
leaving enraptured light
dancing within my eyes

You said that only I can open that for which there is no key dejected I lost hope and thought that it just could not be even I cannot unseal the thing that’s locked inside this chest You said let me put it to the test and smiled and brushed my hand and with that touch I felt the bars inside me bend just a notch and yet within your warm embrace I was unmoored On a path that leaves no trace you showed me a door and in your steady gaze I found a room that had no floor Then, emboldened by our laced hands I stepped through what I believed could never crack Lynn Peyo
Is there magic in your everyday life?
While oft I wake up with it, at night I must trace it back to where it can be found again.

I watch as they unmoor the dhows. "One day I'll go along," I say. An old man laughs at me. "We're called fishermen, not fisherwomen, child."

The tide of lust and opportunism would frequently #unmoor him from his chosen bollard. She didn’t like him to call her that but wasn’t too bothered about those couplings she couldn’t see. Besides, other, more exciting passers-by would often hook-up if they saw she was free.

Here's my offering for the theme of #unmoor - thanks to Bethany @blsamaddar our vss365 host.
#vsspoem #poet #poetrycommunity
Unmoored and drifting
Sails lifting us over the
Edge, the water falls but
We fly from blue to black
Looking back upon a
Spark now fading, a
Past still failing, as we
Meet the winds
