PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I see my writing as my fighting

and my mind is my cue

to me, to put horse before the cart is like trying

to eat the pot to somehow save the stew

what bites also underlines even as it excites

there is a place that remains faithful to any rapid

addiction

poetry to me is quite an attractive drug in which I

enjoy even as I suffer from its mild side effects

and frail self infliction

no one but myself could know its real and actual

purpose in my life

so grace me with but this one simple and unhindered

moment of tragedy and truth

while thou est tries to forget and forgive me my many

mistakes gathered in my youth

for out of nothing

severing from one's highly personal past

cancels out a large portion of strife

giving one, gentle opportunity to take back one's

own life................
