PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

in the light

there are windows

where before

only darkness

terrorized doors

my enter able and

exit able life

such a lovely limited eye

that arched to be brave

the prolific menage of dictated

cable

attempting to entertain

the increasing unentertainable chaos

painting the portrait of control

forcing the standard to become harshly

diluted and lowered

with toxic violence displayed hourly

its deliberate shallowness

on the part of the world whispering

all a bicker

with such diverse points of view

above many a calculated stare

the archway of loneliness once opened

cleaved to the adventurous spirit

and systematically floored

all my previous misconceptions

sculpting my old thoughts

to make me realize

that even in the greatest wave of

ecstasy

pain can still remain

which only further forfeits my muse

this must be why

our complex emotional pasts

are so often referred to

as baggage................
