PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the clouds of confusion
solidify so to settle
leaving my thoughts
to squabble in a quandary
is tormenting to the soul
to be on the receiving end
of strong feelings uninvited
how do you soothe another
who only misunderstands
your every kind intention
such road to hell I feel
is really paved with bronze
for something that just isn't so
he fights his own demons' fears
as he valiantly tries to reach for me
he repeatedly seeks a heart that is
not his to beseech
as the incorrect direction of his path
I selflessly attempt to teach
through many a purpose
so strong
and some utterly and completely
wrong
we must slog on to sort out
the destructed
from the calm
what will his having known me
add to the philosophical gate of
his self fulfilling life
and why do I feel this veritable need
to step up and somehow gain footage
so to better guide
a man so harshly aligned with
the sciences and all their rigid strife
how can one teach such said man
that his heart is a tool for the soul
not a bargaining chip along side
all the worldly possessions he piles
in his home
as prevention to an avenue traveled
that is just not right
partner to pretense
I cannot be
but rather an angel to circumstance
built up so painstakingly
all now somehow seems little more
than solstice to
a fellow sinner's plea
it's as if save me he says
via his words of marry me
how? I have to ask
when to my own heart I must
always be true
and gently decline
sometimes friendship can be
a briar in one's favorite side............
