PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don't have to be even remotely close by

to see so deep within

I know my mind far better than any man knows my skin

and 'immorality' is not a solid question of sin

I've traveled so far yet to no where special have I

been

so I confront my dissatisfaction by forking over

the heat of my anger once again

there is no contest so you see there is no prize

for he who chooses to enter to possibly win

my objectivity is not under any investigation now

so I feel no immediate need to defend it to the dying

end

for I know that the sharpness of the sword's blade

can never be as cutting to me

as the criticism of my prickly pen................
