PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

when I find myself stuck in a rut
instead of shutting the door
I pull the door in on the shut
to everything that's good
we always add a final
and befitting 'but'
the superficial trappings we find
in the crevices of our society
is no more than pure smut
I'm trapped in a small, dark place
in my head
I don't know how I got there
or how long I've actually bled
if my life were indeed a worthwhile
story to tell
in my head you would find a new
definition of the term hell
some say for what they want
their soul they would selfishly sell
if mine indeed ever did have a price
it surely now just fell
I could certainly be a better poet
if I could correctly spell
twenty minutes just passed by
on what seems like
the seat of the pants on a second
maybe my timing is off
without a watch
one can never really tell
there aren't too many men left hanging
about looking for a green eyed Sagittarius
so you see my situation is indeed unique
and quite precarious
perhaps this track of wonder is too silly
to continue on
like putting deep thoughts on one small
post card
but know that I would watch any film bad
or otherwise in which Kevin Costner starred
I only have the ability to dream this
vagueness so far
I am now cognitively stepping out of the ring
for I no longer wish with you to spar..........
