PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

carry not so much with you

just a courageous lout's promise

but the mounting bulk

of all his darkest fears too

as far deeper than any known

determination

regret none too cleverly takes

its fervently garnered cue

the soul too often finds itself

upon the weathered remnants

of a marked man's mission

trembling noticeably in the wake

of fuming doubt

there can be no greater pledge

nor hope of permission

than that of the truly lost

begging God

just what is it all about

ah, but if only a handful of words

could paint more than a thousand

paintings of glory

then perhaps

the words

I Love You

wouldn't seem quite so stark

and lifeless

to 'The Garaged Soul'

whose depth goes far deeper

than any chasm ruled by the too

imperfect human senses

physical death to the soul

must be so very sweet

I await such champion notice

with fearless breath of body

that bedazzles even the fondest

forms of defeat................
