PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I question my sense

beyond the shuttles of a realm

racked with reason

reflection marks off spiritual expense

one gouged forsaken memory in rhyme

buried beneath the limping flaps of guess

a distinct pillage that floats on doubt

throughout such mind's most savage season

there is no such culprit as regret

in guilt's alley way of septic self

infliction

a tantrum worthy of

why, even the simplest pout

makes gun shy the stoutest heathen

yet

a terrible trade we each must make

salivating at such faded sensation

as Rubin himself would likely do today

in a diet camp

amongst so many robust sweet young

females

I busy my mind with a far baser bait

some finicky excuse can fast become

crucial reason to write

the issue itself you see steals a quill

from the coveted goose

for that of a mind far too willing to

channel all care

so to make misery gloat

'Le Pathetique Impaired'

becomes my phantom muse...............
