PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

awaken unto light

masks and swords in darkness ponder

while pointless mediocre monalogues            

yawn vaguely in the glitter some background

reflexively now I laugh

for when challenged even slightly

these omni-present leaches

once provoked

tend to drop and scatter

slithering off to places that remain

nameless and remote

to further avoid their limitations being

discussed

just simple pleasure seekers

languishing in their claustrophobic cages

of shallowness and mistrust

its a typeographical epidemic of horror

arrogance

sex and loneliness

slapped around by suspicion and abuse

ad nauseam

its a classic case of self denial

stalled in an electronic house of faceless

ill repute

so it was quite stellar for me to stumble

upon a little brash banter polish and schooled

intellect

among the usual trenches of kindergarten

conversations and baldy adolescent wit

and introspective grins  make way for mirth

filled guffaws

when I think of the level of exchange

and the width and breath

here to for

the wage and rate of ideas and emotions at which

we both shall greedily feast and consume

the magic of that very moment's shape

I can somehow no better address

so this poem

a chariot

I offer up

to further stimulate

and carry us through

the imploding void to such endeavor........
