PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The name suits you ill, it's awkward

and i know that must be why you've taken it

Like second hand T-Shirts

                         and mistmatched shoes

Such things are your machines and devices

to fuel the righteous fury

in the quiet stanzas

Of the poetry that is your life

i was drawn to it,

                  and amazed by it

and it holds me under its irredescent spell still

the colours are constantly shifting

i can't venture too close or they'll disappear

so at a distance i watch they're everchanging motions

caught up in the cadence of a life

  that i so desperately want to join

but like the shunned, ugly boy in sweatpants

i'll waste away from the chain link fence
