Alive and Free”  By Teebra Woods

My mind is like the rolling hills

fields of green trees bees and seeds

flowers and powers

moon light rainbows

singing birds

sleepy clouds

morning dew

running squirrels

funny nothing of cites

nor of concrete

no micro chip logic

just life

simply to be

alive and free

 

Buy One Get One Free” by Teebra Woods

There are the dreamers who embrace life with the faith of hope

inventors turn visions into reality with endless effort and gamble

the middle man just walks in

and

sells it to somebody

they put it into a plastic box

a company buys 1,000,000 units

sends it to

a store

there it waits under a spot light with glitter

then you see the dream on TV

life will be better if you

could only afford it

you reach in pay for it

with money you pay to barrow

tax man takes his

you get home open it

but it doesn't quite give you what you're looking for

 

 

"Speak of these trees"  by Teebra Woods

a forest of thoughts

trees bend into outlines reminiscent

of past love

no human voice but mine own

the noise of  silent woods

blaze my ears with wonder

my house had been weathered away in the dead of night

nothing left but twisted branches in  familiar shapes

almost a skeleton of the place where my house once stood

the forest moves swiftly

over grown with green

in fact all of my worldly possessions and inventions

had all been consumed by the plants

the only reminder of my things

were twigs shaped into images

that sparked memories of what once was

never had I anticipated the details

of this prison

unable to realize the trap

I moved on chasing more lies

they fly as fast as my thoughts

seemly always one step ahead

the images are never sure

never lasting longer than a tease

this time the doors where all closed

the is no escape from this forest

and soon I would grow tired

and the trees will consume me

leaving a mark

a branch

in

the

shape

of me

 

One More Fight” by Teebra Woods

Impossible to resign

wanting rhyme

for dance circulates

a directive dominates

infiltrates my skull

bone rock for all

ages

pages

multi-flavored

always savored

grasping

tasking

breath of life

so cometh night

steady my sword

ready my ward

time click tocks on

slipping away in song

 

"Desert" by Teebra Woods

deluded stream

once of clarity runs with shadowed will

entrusted team

hands in their pocket owners of the battered mill

all smiles and winks

staring into your darkest thought

they burn the forest down

dreams sold and bought

weary bewildered and sickened

as they poison my wake

all that will be left is a desert

there will be no more to take

 

"Bridge" by Teebra Woods

the bridge was broken

although put from strength and pride

relentlessness of the daily tide

jurisdiction of water has spoken

weakening and eroding away

accomplishments of past day

stand  with the package of  hope in hand

look at the ideal

as true as a movie reel

customarily forgotten accounts about this home land

then without a peep knowing I tried

to see this great presentation as intended

remembering  all that have been befriended

rush on with a leap soaring to the other side

 

 

"Bet" by Teebra Woods

a twisted ladder,

on the brink

the crooked eye,

is the link

mindless visions,

timeless smile

teach my eye,

a mental while

such wisdom known,

truth stand fast tall

millions reached,

but billions none at all

I lay in paradise,

with such regret

the time was lost,

on a miss placed free bet.
