PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

though you do not choose to often write

I genuinely do believe that out of mind for you

does not necessarily mean out of sight

a vague soft voice of acquired experience tells me

all my sentimentalism should take precedence in its

turbulent fight

but if so I feel I wouldn't be the woman I like to think

I am today if with your acquaintance ship I didn't take

great devilish delight

this double indemnity takes great pleasure in its

besiege meant of my otherwise masked wounded moral

why, you could be anyone you cared to be

to all the entire world

yet, you've chosen to be my pal

duty calls me to the alter of 'Life's Little Ironies'

to give my usual speech of thank you but I can not

at this time in good conscience wisely commit

off more than I can chew I suppose I should say I may

have indeed bit

fundamental realism explains itself to me as if I

were a disturbingly dimwitted child

besides the somewhat obvious morbid intent for the sake

of simple hope with this ponderous matter I have finally

reconciled

I wish you the best even as I wish for myself merely an

end to a pattern filled life of justifiable quick fixes

the worst possible solution to the 'ending of all' is death

so that very idea stupidly alone nocturnally nixes

a friendship can play mother to even the most childish

of insecurities

the state of my maverick's mind has happily shifted hands

in its guarding of the keys

I have no more even cornered qualms with my conscience's

stony stare

for life is left to each to do his own individual living

a concept of which I feel is more than fair.....
