PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

fear be not me

in my worthless rhythm of nostalgic doom

dare not slash even my most fragile favor

as she bleeds respite from the very womb

unbearable envy dallies

in such remote yet remarkable face

shadowed so gloriously by the rusted values

of old

so very dormant are the thinning trees

in this desolate place

yet I can hear unfairness

as she softly weeps

each magnificent sorrow straddles

new tales yet to be told

the simplest plight need not snap

in attempt to answer my heartbreak's woe

this avenging pen

though she gouges at my soul

still in her river's ink

I float all a glow

relief guards the unhindered harbor

many have chosen to label as

long long ago

so to learn we must amuse inspiration

so to teach others

do not mistake a mistake as truth

when it need not be so

a collected and unvarnished remorse to you

our said future

we blithely bestow....................
