PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

sporting a new and darker do

minus that infuriating touch of gray

determination falls limply askew

hope so filled with its own private play

like some form of correction in the aftermath

where only moments before

creation slipped silently from its bath of page

only to then die uninspired upon memory's ill

fated floor

nearly worn from the unplanned trip of dropping

tonight, there rules evidence that my destined

(mis)fortune is quite obviously non-stopping

nor an unflattering fluke by some freak of nature

or means of doubt

but more so a witness to all that I am so

fearlessly about

the shear insanity placed in the pen

puts me at defensive odds with my very own face

and grin

even as I blink I still do not see me in

these unfashioned words of scorn

but a peaceful alien force from within

that has yet let itself be born

so the preparation for that day continues on

with what seems like no apparent end

which guarantees to me that somehow if I am able

to break myself in far enough somewhere down the

less taken road in life I won't have to bend

over backwards or out of shape..............
