PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

while riding amazement

in a jar less petulant form

shock mildly mocks

my wide green guileless eyes

utter disbelief

actually sails somewhat softly

into a fractured relief

vaporizing such a revealing heart's

impressive storm

is this a con or merely some vague

perfect truth

there lives no real denial

that I can see in the words

that flash before my avid eyes

contradictably I am stunned

so, I read

I absorb

I process

your tentative yet fearful explanation

as time and careful for thought

is needed here

to process this influx of knowledge

and regroup such bridge from now to

tomorrow

is an ominous swinging shadowy bridge

at best

I just hope what I am feeling animating from

you is genuine emotion

and not some elaborate game

for a bored man's restless amusement

to pursue

as your true cares strength

I fear I just may need

now to help me through

just one request

please

Just don't deceive me further

as that my good man is all I will ever

ask of you....................
