PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

unrequited love is no more than

heartache way out of its own depth

why even simple breathing becomes a labor

from such dull stand point of the overly

rejected

repeated dark episodes painfully play themselves

out for the sole private viewing of the deeply

injured mind

yet love thyself

can be an uncontrollable beast if left too long

unattended

mutual silence only further rusts the keys

I none too brilliantly surmised this myself

once upon a very recent bleak time

so soft hearted yet steel souled

the misery has as of yet not figured out exactly

where it should go

deeper in me still

or from me far away

what fantastic farce of failed reckoning felled

me in my placid time

spilling little if any even futile justification

upon itself for my unremarkable crime

out and all over the pathetic entirety of this

seriously so very sorry page

in a most abstract form of passable rhyme

I take furiously swift creative notes and vent my

readied rage

precede no dimly lit step further I beg

as I offer you with whole hearted muse

a doll up of daring mental flesh

draped over a dreary loser's tattered defense

shored up by mere profound guess

so very finely retooled for the unfettered journey

as success in any real venture tends to spoil so

easily

ask speed skater Dan Jansen once upon a life time

ago

the lungs somehow defy the bitter mind's demons

and manage the feat of continuing to breath

yet another life altering interruptive breath

I live an avalanche like existence

not a day goes by that I don't look for death

as sometimes I am almost certain that it too

looks for me

and Ironically enough I knew one day that my

excellent hide and seek skills as a child

would pay off

I just never dreamed in what incredible manner

sometimes I think God must really get a kick

out of me....................................
