PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

love, the single most pleasant illusion

filters through thoughts of displeasure

with its gentle intrusion

there can be only one reason responsible for this

confusion

I am lost yet again in my decadent yet deplorable

delusion

so I must hack carefully away at this unkillable

internal bad seed

for the healing process one can only wish me God's

own speed

love and hate off each other they equally feed

it hurts knowing that people like me come in only

one pure form of breed

tenacious is one way I have so often been described

to stop this unnecessarily ache

my very own soul I have bribed

though, like it or not I have to take myself as I

am

whether I be an animal activist or the son of Sam

to those who don't choose to wish me well

I say let them be damned

and send them all to hell

without one's mind what good is the hand

I've rambled on now so, that I'm not quite certain

of my position or place

yet with not knowing quite how

I've gained a lot of strength  as I lost a good

deal of face

in one's patience, there's room to be proud

through the verbal fields of daring discredit

I have successfully plowed

to the very end, I've left myself open

to unfavorable censure

because you see, I don't look at life as a

small contract with God

I see it as an all out bloody grand adventure

of the spirit.....................
