PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

a timeless tale of malcontent and legion

with master and skill creatively tested

to the openness of the page

as mutual outcome labors fraught with dour

and undecided reason

promise and briefly tasted victory are scattered

throughout such a vicious yet all the more

innocent age

self discipline strikes extreme modesty in the

hopeful heart with a quivering wand of utter

contempt

and vestiges of unspoken yet clearly read remorse

fall for the moment in the emotional paralysis of

events

sent away is he who so dares to cross the void of

unexpected loneliness

with at best, guarded words of meaning

held tight in a crippled hand

each glorious encounter captures the eager

reader

striking a knawed cord of disbelief as true

sympathy lies in ones ability to accept as well

as understand

with she in her dank castle of childhood horrors

he, drowning in his indifferent wounded memories

of self inflicted shame

give one an almost touch of 'How To'

on grim, Gothic style of romance

their near tragedy a most vile vinegar taste

leaving one to wonder as we overwhelmingly weep

for each one tears that mark the same

just who should we blame

the impossible possibleness of impossibility

were love not indeed so familiar yet teasing

and strange.........................
