PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

in the solemnity
of twilight thought,
self-comfort
masquerades as optimism
as the ticks
tock away.

but with another hour
behind us
there’s less to
look forward to
       quite mathematically.
and I emphatically reject
compromise
to a lower common emotion.

but…

like waves
all highs will subside
into the greater blankness
of oceans –
       a manic moment
       grounded
       by mediocrity’s panic.
