PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

deeper is the purest knowledge

flailing me in an almost angry jest

opt for immediate escape

grim habits press for such a quest

where stands my prized irons of for thought

once the very anchors to life's cruel tide

that vile and unscrupulous ghoul remorse

she marks me of all people for her guide

though all available options bare little

resemblance to what they really are

I am left sprawled against a chilling wall

of logic

bound in rusting chains of seem less self

doubt

hopeless, though not by far

I feel the hungriest of the wolves guarding

my writer's block until they see it fair to

let me out

and as I further strain to battle such

devious habits of the none too unforgiving old

the bruised and battered subconscious steps forth

to unwaveringly aid me gain my before unbearable

hold

the playing of Hunter in one's own mind can be

at best a somewhat tricky if not dangerous

endeavor

unrevealed mystery is after all a fashioned

form of weapon

while the latest acquisition is of course quite

the cherished treasure

indeed, truly successful poets must own the

finest self made mental shovels that there are

around

that is if one truly wishes to discover deep

within himself what has not before been found

freshly mined originality that is clearly uncut

while none too tightly bound...............
