PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

sentiment 'Upon Misery's Pale Pink Lips'

evades me like fire light in shadows

and upon the decks of great ships

with many a spirited soul

I have shared a dose or two of dubious ponder

and a few caustic quips

though verbal gridlock was not my originally intended

goal

rarely at my so secretly guarded self did I take full

participated part in those self defeating yet

clever clips

I was never one to chronically complain into my adult-

hood when I had been quite and clearly bested

so entangled into that of a an amateur entertainer's

coo

my reasons always somehow got arrested

I'm quick to be overly bubbly in a crowd consisting

of more than three

almost too quick some would outrageously whisper

in my bid to be myself minus me

so many fall back on my withering wit to help ease

even the smallest yet uncomfortable reparte'

perhaps it is indeed best after all that I am allowed

to turn such casual conversations more and more these

days  my mettlesome way

I love this imbalance yet metaphoric mind that I have been

so graciously granted

though over such said similar matters I know not why

Hamlet pugnaciously ranted

get me away from my tiresome mortal self

and I would likely trip somewhere over the discarded

shell

why, I can project myself to look even all in the know

before he who so ever cares to see

but first, I have to get up from where I fell.........
