PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

call me no type of heartless fiend or fool

how I conduct my affairs some would label it as

cruel

I don't let love cloud any aspect of an important

decision

optically speaking I am near that to blind but

mentally I possess extraordinary vision

sometimes I can see what has yet to pass

I can hold my own in any crowd of people

but take a top seat at the head of my class

and that could very well be why I often come across

as seeming crass

I view life not so much as a basis upon coincidence

but more so the contrast

how I wish to neither fall in the category of first

nor last

If I had the choice you'd find me within the dusty

pages from long ago past

looking upon the world still so untouched and quite

vast

seeing it not with eyes full of wonder

but with unbelievable aghast ....................
