Free hand...

Free hand...

A Poem by stranger-n-life
"

... exploration of true freedom in mankind

"
thanks
for
those so many tender words
I felt
that you had
not ever
come to say ...
still,  they ring clear,
and loudest,
still silently,
their quietness comes home to me
to speak of gentle things
...modestly

but fair expression ,
countenanced  by feelings' truth
of
tears

...urge overcomes,
rejecting now
all  censorship of years

allures' full pent-up passion
freed aright,
unfettered  forms fall in with
unaccustomed  
feathered flight,
heart
set above denial and despairing games,
surpasses  
progress' paling propaganda's pains,
past evil dross' mad
mechanistic
 maimings ...

then
freed
the
fervour savours its delight,
could heart continue to
conceal the  light,
fenced in with
 fear's fierce fancied fright ?

Nay,
 life is  love-bourne,
love to requite
let dying dead their own foul carcass dread
consort not with
dark hate's
deceitful head

...who judges then
but they should  not be judging,
should fair judges higher still  
 bear
this
fudging ?

...mouth's fairest
love-born sword
is
mighty slick,
cuts evil interference through
right to the quick,
sole noblest weapon
of the bard
and none can penetrate its guard,

...none trick the light's just-said  behest
for love's
full
noble
endless
quest
...power mightier yet
than storming seas
disarms our vulgar moralities
...unveils our paradox
with ease

justice reveals hypocrisies
of those
who mar themselves with hurt
to hidden
darker
purpose
in
the dirt...

Pen,
freed from slavery's false ritual, 
twisted normality's sad victual,
LOVE casts freely...
adopting
veil of modesty
she knows so well...
fair words of love
become
the  bard
tarnishing not ever, 
however tarred...

full mercies
swift
engulf
the normal  pride,
and prancing on,
leaves all
behind
full mortified

so  fly!
...  take this free- proffered hand,
and I do bid
the dance begin,
throughout the land
and step
for two
awhile
 with me
amid the starry fantasy

...realms of this freedom's
surest
longed  
delight
on eagles wings beyond the night
and I will guard your truths
with
ever-faithful watch
'til mornings rays
warm
love's fair catch...
