PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

with flawless confusion and adequate

means of emotional unrest

I prepare myself for the intrusion

of love's sweet but impersonal counter quest

which all too quickly perplexes me

its unrequested victim in its blistering

gale of virtual unease

I walk tiredly out of my very own mind

trying to champion just what or whom it is

that I unknowingly displease

the vast timbers of my youth enriched time

fall stark and inherently morose

as if they were meant to be bread to some

chronological floor

and as I witness my clumsy reaction from

this very odd angle

I find that I do not care for such a manner

of almost cruelly unenlightened self

entertainment anymore

so, I close my restless, somber eyes and

imagine myself in the fantasy version of me

in love as I always have before

and I mentally, in turn somehow manage to kick

self doubt's ass right out of this form of

reality's front door................
