PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Everyone stood around

while the fuse was lit

waiting to be moved 

or stuck in awe

but instead of any of that

they let a sigh when 

the fuse ran out 

and the explosion was all like

"naw"

I see a lot of myself in that

A lifetime leading to some great explosion,

you can feel the spark 

ready set to explode at any moment

but what you've really learned is that you're

an anticlimactic showman

There's no great fire show

There's no more fuse to burn 

only the life to live

and the uneasy feeling 

of yearning
