PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

cleverly, quite the picture of content

my startled intrigue would seem to only further

quench my parchment though

I must lift the flask of too futile the already

fortified dream

damned in my disquieting dementia

I barter the latest silence out of the mouth

of a most horrific scream

and the challenge to win over takes the mere

playing of such a simple yet aggravating game

so, I offer my final breath

and the shadows no longer choose to dance before

me

as I will pay their piper no more

I have far exceeded what I originally set out

to gain

inner understanding that is no longer adorned by

doubt, guilt nor blame

the core of all consuming peace accepts the offered

prize

tranquility placed gently upon the statue of

reverence

such reward crushes through the too human floor

constructed with need felt lies

soft, unblemished humanity

where over it the bird of ageless light

forever unfettered, flawlessly flies..........
