PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

if the mind can not arrange its own thoughts

then how can the poetry hope to be written

so that it is expressed

if this is indeed the issue that is caught

within the loop

then I feel it is one that I personally should

address

writer's block means little to he who has yet

even guessed the abilities well within his

soul's reach

each an untouched talent

for which he has been blessed

circumstance and one's past play the mentor to

each his chosen role

making opportunity no blood brother to defeat

the trigger yet to be brushed lies breathlessly

waiting in each his most faithful select goal

for me, to be known would indeed be quite sweet

but chances yet taken guard old mistakes that I

alone wish not to soon repeat

the heart, with her often hair brain hidden

agenda

makes pathways far around logic and the like

so the coquetry of science

ye be damned

in your lengthy explanations

with their statistical data concerning the

inner mysteries of man

what can not be explained need not be exposed

or named

for what has to be

will in the end be done

by the needful hands of man or thine own

creator

it need not matter

for all eventually bleeds into one

so, be a sport

and put the unbroken clock back together

and let time and her sweet imagination

have their rightful fun

for the future unlike the past is ours

to forever better

even if that is only 'The Opinion Of One'.........
