I've become a captive of my own ambitions.

It would be difficult to have any unfulfilled ambitions because I don't have any ambitions. I've never been that kind of performer.
Sarton
A captive man and a captive woman,
I am Sarton in the land of peace;
And like the muse of your love so shared by your lover.

Spurn Ambitions
SPURN AMBITIONS
Ambitions spurn, where man on man would prey,
most gifts seem sterile where two hearts can't share,
all phrases empty where there’s none to care: -
best let the heart lead head along Time’s way.
Life offers much, though who takes should repay.

Those Dreams You Wish
Keep do not free yourself,
From those lofty ambitions.
One never knows,
When dreams appear as needed.
A rush to participate in conflicts,
May for you seem the thing to do.
But what is accomplished,
In the doing of what others pursue.
Keep do not free yourself,
From those lofty ambitions.
One never knows,
When dreams appear as needed.
And if sacrifice with devotion,
Has already been applied.
Those dreams you wish,
Are near.

Captive
I am carried away captive because of your love!
But you are lovely and lonely;
Anbd i will always respect your lofty stronghold.
I found you in the fields of the woods where,
I met your sweet love waiting for a lover;
But today i am carried away captive.

At The Shore Of Chendur
That you feel you're a captive
Globed for the Lord's pastime
In circles of benighted spheres
Immessurable your anger I know
From your abysmal depths oh, ocean
As you surge and surge to a tsunami
You're receded albeit agonized
A waste of chaos you roll on
On your inability to touch the Lord
What you think, I am? same and alike
A captive of oceanic emotions
Ebbing, ebbing tsunami-high agitated
Just to decline to fear's feet
A mistake of an unseen creatrix
This life ours for the Lord's pastime
Behold, those captive-crowds ever tearful
In vain attempt to wash the Lord's feet
Here I await my turn as you do..when is it?

A Mothers Gift
A MOTHER ONCE SAID TO HER SON,
A GIFT I HAVE FOR THEE HERE,
SHITOSHI IS MY GIFT TO THEE,
LO AND BEHOLD, AN INNOCENT MAN IS MADE CAPTIVE BY HIS TRUST, LOVE AND IGNORANT INNOCENCE,
HE IS ENDOWED WITH THE CREATIONS OF RELIGION,
ALL WOMEN WHO HAVE MET HIM IN HIS LIFETIME IS THUS EMPLOYED,
IN THE WORK OF INIQUITY,
THEY ARE CALLED HIS WIVES,
THEY HAVE COME TOGETHER AND A BEIGN CALLED SHITOSHI IS BORN,
ALL OF THEM TOGETHER IS THIS DEMON NAMED SHITOSHI,
MY NAME IS MOST MARRED,
MY IMAGE IS MOST RUINED,
MY IDENTITY IS MOST DEFAMED,
ALL BECAUSE I TRUSTED MY MOTHER,
RELIGION CLAIMS TO GIVE PEACE AND VICTORY,
THEY HAVE RAVISHED OUR WIVES, AND EMPLOYED THEM AS DEMONS,
OUR GIRLS ARE BECOME WHORES AND SLAVES TO RELIGION AND THEIR CHILDREN,
OUR WIVES NOW BELIEVE US TO BE FOOLS AND THUS MAKE US INFERIOR BEFORE OUR ADVERSARIES,
YES, I AM A CAPTIVE OF RELIGION,
A CAPTIVE TO SHITOSHI,
A CAPTIVE TO HYPOCRYTIC MOTHERS, WIVES AND DAUGHTERS,
A CITY OF FORNICATIVE HYPOCRISY IS BUILT AROUND ME,
THE CITY OF INIQUITY,
THIS IS MY MOTHERS GIFT TO ME

Of Dreams and Ambitions
From the day a soul
Is pulled from the Guff
To inhabit its 70-year hull,
Are its Dreams and Innocence not enough
To succeed,
And to heed
God's plan
For man?
Yet, do not the cares of the world
Eventually depress the soul
With their harsh conditions?
Into the void our innocence is hurled,
So our dreams we must hold on to,
And begin to form into ambitions.
In using our new-found experience,
Do we not realize our ambitions,
Formed from innocent dreams,
And once again realize innocence?

The Captive Knight
The prisoned thrush may brook the cage,
The captive eagle dies for rage.
Lady of the Lake.
'Twas a trumpet's pealing sound!
And the knight look'd down from the Paynim's tower,
And a Christian host, in its pride and power,
Thro' the pass beneath him wound.
Cease awhile, clarion! Clarion, wild and shrill,
Cease! let them hear the captive's voice–be still!
'I knew 'twas a trumpet's note!
And I see my brethren's lances gleam,
And their pennons wave by the mountain stream,
And their plumes to the glad wind float!
Cease awhile, clarion! Clarion, wild and shrill,
Cease! let them hear the captive's voice–be still!
'I am here, with my heavy chain!
And I look on a torrent sweeping by,
And an eagle rushing to the sky,
And a host, to its battle-plain!
Cease awhile, clarion! Clarion, wild and shrill,
Cease! let them hear the captive's voice–be still!
'Must I pine in my fetters here?
With the wild wave's foam, and the free bird's flight,
And the tall spears glancing on my sight,
And the trumpet in mine ear?
Cease awhile, clarion! Clarion, wild and shrill,
Cease! let them hear the captive's voice–be still!
'They are gone! they have all pass'd by!
They in whose wars I had borne my part,
They that I lov'd with a brother's heart,
They have left me here to die!
Sound again, clarion! Clarion, pour thy blast!
Sound! for the captive's dream of hope is past.'

Sonnet: Life’s Ambitions
If Life's a ship at sea with rafts and sail;
Our ambitions, the crew who steer it through;
And chance comes as a Wind or mighty gale,
That gives us success or our waterloo.
How must our Captain, Mind order his crew?
'The ship could sink, So, jump aboard, some men',
Keep ready the life-boats for saving few;
The rest can pray to God for quick haven.
Control, we must our desires, in life,
Our ambitions, need not be successful;
Life's safety first is what we choose in strife,
On Doomsday, soul must not be still sinful.
We aim to do the best we can on earth,
But ultimately, we aim for God's Mirth.

The Monkey & The Onion
See the monkey peel the onion
See the monkey cry
He can feel his tears are flowin
But he dont know why
He continues peeling faster
'til the onion is no more
Now at last his cryins over
But all he had is gone
Whatever for
You and I are always chasing
Wild ambitions and far off dreams
As we run in all directions
Nothings quite the joy it seems
If I tell you that I love you
Dont ask how much
And dont ask why
Have no doubt and ask no questions
Just believe its not a lie
Never take my love for granted
But never put it to the test
Like the monkey and his onion
Too much investigation
You know the rest
You and I are always chasing
Wild ambitions and far off dreams
As we run in all directions
Nothings quite the joy it seems
On that we could be contented
With the good things that weve gained
But in the end were empty handed
Just because we need the world explained

To James Forbes, Esq.
WHEN sever'd from this hostile shore,
A weary captive now no more,
Home, cherish'd home, shall glad your sight
In blessedness of fresh delight;
While love shall weave new spells around
That spot of consecrated ground,
Where sweet domestic joy imparts
The charm that binds congenial hearts,
And filial tenderness prepares
A balm for all terrestrial cares:--
Forget not,--ah, forget not those
Who sought to soothe the captive's woes!
Exult, be happy, and be free,
But give one pensive thought to me!

Cries from the Cage!
We are but the captive Birds
Craving for consoling words
Our own Garden,
The orchard of Heaven
Is made our cage
The perennial prison,
for nothing
but
a fake reason;
The glowing,
rising sun is captive,
imprisoned are the moon and stars.
You gave us food
and things to eat,
but cut the feathers,
bound the feet.
Our soil is pure
like a martyr's blood.
Our feelings are in deadly flood.
Round the clock we raise this slogan:
freedom, freedom-
It's a cry of souls imprisoned,
But souls awakened,
Hoping that one day
We'll be able
To tear down the veil
between our cry and the sky...

Realists don't fulfill their ambitions. There must be a dreamer in all of us.
The Nexus Said
The nexus tells us
Wills us
Breaks us
Apart from you
The stars have swollen
The trees whisper
You have failed
Such ambitions
Such premonitions
Since we were children
You have been all I ever known
We got into our fights
Over whats not right
The nexus tells us
Wills us
Breaks us
Apart from you
The stars have swollen
The trees whisper
You have failed
Such ambitions
Such premonitions
You have brought this upon me
Its your own catastrophe
Its your mess
You fix it
Or maybe not
But either way
You lost
What the nexus said will be
Call it karma
Call it destiny
It doesn't change a tragedy
No will
Its over
Its beyond the hopeless endeavor
Its not even close to being clever
Its a shelter being bulldozed down
Its part of the lost and found
So what will be
Will be
I don't need you
You don't need me.
Its just as the nexus said

What Am I? Can You Tell Me?
I am hunted and captured the world
Over and put on display.
But I have no arms and legs.
I am always in flight, yet I have no wings.
Unlike the great hunters I can not be put
into a cage, or displayed on a wall.
Yet I am displayed for the world to see
I am admired for my beauty
And I can touch you, and you can feel me.
and I am invisible to the human eye.
I can make your soul dance, and your heart sing.
And make you feel like you can do anything.
I can make your darkest night bright.
And things that seemed wrong right.
I could turn your brains inside out
And put your mind into doubt.
I can do all this and much more
And hold you captive like never before.
You are my captive, I am your slave
I will be with you till your dying days.
WHAT AM I? I AM LOVE!
