PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

nary even a shadow of a promise

do I let pass through these firmly set lips

just as no body of negative brushes each nor

any of my finely tuned fingertips

tainted eyes can not clearly see the numerous

trivial trials of such shallowly foolish men

who write just so they can boast that they have

written

which is a pale travesty unto itself

set upon the most daunting of whims

a knock at the door made by an oddly cold

yet seemingly insatiable hand

leads not so much one onto the path of mystery's

temptation

as to halls of delusions that swirl non stop

yet lifelessly grand

so spark not the easiest flames that are free

to fire the imagination  of the fully unfettered

mind

but more so attempt to carry the waters of reason

and belief that flow so to find

the finest knowledge that exists

just above each his decidedly too human mind

a yet flawed form of intelligence just out of reach

and not nearly so clearly defined

a page or two torn from the very ledgers found in

God's own library

True Love

such sweet gifts for the soul

yet still unfortunate are those who dare not to

even think to be wary.................
