PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A curious haunt
disjoints my thought.
Discomforting
like a wet sock.
So I shroud myself in something warm
and familiar
like a memory
of a better time.

But this blanket
tangles and tightens,
strangles my limbs
with the recollection
of love once requited:
affection collected
and dangled from clothespins
to dry and be dressed with.

Brambled in questions,
I ponder:
Why is Time
allowed Passage
but never Port?
And should this
be accepted?

I scramble towards the only solace

I've known:
the piracy of language
with which to fashion
an anguished verse.

And with an eyepatch
I half-weep
past islands traversed...
