PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

anxious happy excited and depressed

but always with the utmost structured sense

of balanced well being

for that

I am truly most blessed

I have this never ending problem

of facing the ramifications of the most

persistent here and now

I would adjust and alter my flailing attitude

for the better

if only I knew how

though nearly as courageous as any modern day

troubadour

with an unfailing love for life that few could

easily ignore

still

I can not seem to prevent any further damage

done by such uncontrollable dreaming

yet nor can I completely dis spell

the shrill sound of my occasional silent

inner screaming

for every new moment still remains to be seen

the worst taste imaginable

is that of supreme realization when facing

one's own worst fears

lucky for me

most of my poetry is the end result

and quite habit forming

obviously................
