PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I require very little to become very entranced

mental vision can be a vicious cycle that only with

proper prodding can memory and imagination

get exhausted

to be further enhanced

I don't need to rely on special skills or self abusive

behavior

to realize

man must first find then believe in himself before he

can expect to find the ever evasive emotional savior

what good is the system if we can't even remotely

shock it

up on the board of life experience this slim lesson

at best we must chalk it

you see, life has its own way of bringing one out of

the deepest depression

in the aftermath of dismay I can at last bravely stare

down the angriest unspeakable aggression

and now as I sit cross legged with my thoughts as

grim as grave stones

this ailment isn't as stoic and severe as it stands

alone upon this page and solicitously bemoans

the darkest places in my soul slowly shed their shaking

wet shadows and proceed themselves into the clear

still that doesn't stop me from repeatedly asking myself

why the hell do I always end up here

the terror within isn't always so shear

I know just what to listen for  in all this mess,

truth and anger I can easily hear

for now I must bid a gentle good evening to all I hold

so dear

others beckon me and draw me closer but still away from

those so near.................
