PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

a constant battle of wills can pose a certain
lingering type of threat
I only have so much strength left to pull myself
out of any and all emotional debt
over and about all I've previously questioned
I will no longer hedge
as my whole entire heart to the page
I singularly pledge
memories are enough to breathe life into this poetic
heart of mine
though a new coating of red hot love #77
sure could make me sparkle and shine
for an old residue of a love long ago dead
I refuse to cry over and pine
his kind of hurtful take over of the spirit
is no longer malignant but benign
it is pointless to keep up this much too brave
front
I find a strange comfort though in certain aspects
of being brutally blunt
if I keep busy I don't miss the friends in extreme
that I used to easily possess
I can even block out the life I have right now and
conveniently not see that it's not such a bleeding
awful mess
each of us at one time or another in our lives
wish to stand in the face of frankness
and state our case
yet, no one but a handful, will aide the side of the
underdog
and even fewer would offer to stand in his place
I am glad with myself and others that I was once
again able to touch base
remember though humanity is very complicated
and deep
yet, its still the heart's blood of a haughty
human race..........
