PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

there are locks placed upon each of our souls

of this did you question or even wonder to know

I thought not

so with myself for this very right I fortunately

fought

dreams give a hazy view of such secret sights

we so often conceal and try to confine

I take some measure of emotional risk

every time I push this pen across the page to

fill yet another line

in just this type of setting we see diminishing marks

of doubt yet little room for extended blood bond

yet no tears when we find out we'll get no free wishes

from the gentle wave of a ferry god mother's wand

and of this oversight you must permit me to entail

of it I'm not too dearly fond

there is tension between me and this specific page

more so than youth today verses advanced age

but not quite as thick as Fonda on Fonda in the movie

ON GOLDEN POND

maybe I am no longer in league with nor the land of

the modern day not so dumb blond

but for my own personal research

I must gage how people yet to be will one day respond

on me now, this vague idea has just this minute dawned

this is the very jugular vein idea in which I seek to

uncover

maybe I shouldn't attempt contact with men from my

day but who knows what I could be so lucky to discover

a friend, a tool, a longer life or perhaps a new and

better version of the modern lover............
