PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

otherwise occupied by senses commanding me to

go forward

not yet knowing what my goals are aiming me

toward

when realization comes to head I believe I'll be

fully prepared

into the glacial orbs of what's yet to come

I had to down cast my own eyes as back at me

they shockingly stared

and who is to say that visual aid is solely for

the hearing impaired

falling behind even as I get ahead of myself

is so often a current affair

when I let down my guard the light of suspicion

remains on

it continues to burn even when away with myself I

am surprisingly gone

it monitors every reaction of any emotion

put to even the mildest test

wider than you could ever imagine

I am just that when I am at my best

when I cry

tears drown out all sensible thought and

leave anger in their wake

you must give me right of passage as I push myself

beyond the channels of acceptability

and pit myself against my eternal spouse and rival

prosaic

without adequate inspiration I am left writing alone

and lost in the dark

the success I've so far achieved could be no more than a repetitive occurrence of an outrageous lark

in me you would find no mental fire

if it wasn't for the hint of a tiny creative spark

and do note

one day indeed, my words you will mark.........
