PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am practically ignorant in  this current

state of mind

my poetic litany reveals this to thy reader

in kind

people seem to listen when I choose to speak

of honor hope and pain

my eclectic words seem to reek

when this talent/curse leaves my hand

you will have witnessed my full remorse

but for right now stay clear of my wicked

and weary course

be I sitting in my darkened abode or standing

laughing wickedly in an immobile elevator

you will at last come to the glorious conclusion

I am a lover not a hater

does my hand hold a steady flow

now as it is growing light

my thoughts run rampant with no real safe place

away from my haunted soul to go

when in doubt I choose not to pout

from my massive verbal arsenal

instead I spout

when I am hurting I lash out

in nasty verbal candor

never think that to my many inadequacies

I wish thee to pander

I shall now close up my weary dreary brain

fall asleep right here in this bed

where many times before I have lain.......
