PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

through the well deep cracks
revealing sanity's vulnerable core
more splendid than spirit
an un-label-able amnesty of self
takes arrogant flight
sensuous warm tendrils
of idealistic captivation
twilight
'Lost Tender Twilight'
how you've enrapt
many gregarious pen's guts
to break into song
from despairing remarks carelessly flung
to quintessential kindness saved
the music of your remembrance
reverberates on
amid the stomps of cavalier rage
a light soulful sleep of words
awakens this mind to stir
to but one fire of thought
Zelda
that breathless confused temper
that famously fanned F. Scott's
youth driven wind
with her gradual grip of madness
so elegantly self painted
returning and returning
to rule and still rule again
a wild, capricious flower
unflappable
slowly
by inches
her life slipped off the mantle
left to lay
limp
withered and unenviable
lifeless
and unanchored
no longer
his muse of unattainable beauty
ere
the coward's flapper
far too old now
damaged
and ripe.............
