PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

my meticulous mind along with the aid of this unsympathetic

pen

speaks fluently to this page about all that is wrong

from deep within

and it trustingly goes through a ritual over and over

again

sometimes the soul needs an added reminder

a mental chuck up under the chin

to get me back on track and familiar with the riches

found in one's tenderest feelings so true

I study the loose pages left in my possession to ascertain

which way the wind blew

sometimes such intense self questioning is the hardest of all

impossible things to do

emotions change their rhythms of intensity so quickly

that their appearance is deceiving to their own

actual hue

I can only hope as I sit and gaze in absolute wonder

that the evasive feelings will escalate to a grander

scale of poetic peace and not manage to drag me deeper

under

the writer trapped inside me is dying by minuscule degrees

for the form of self expression out of which she

desperately needs

this is just too grim to be believed

that's not so

the other I in me irritably disagreed.............
