PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Struggling to  stay above the meniscus 

Stagnant waters breed contempt

No push, no pull, just demands

Oily film clings in colourful swirls mocking as it suffocates

Each breath cut a micron smaller 

A slow agonising drawl, off a rabid dogs tooth

Stuck in an endless moment 

Confined to a predestined conclusion -

All forgone

I've given up on the illusion, 

Come what may,

Its not the wait that kills,

I died a while ago

This is something else entirely  

Futile frustration,

Living ends soon enough 

After life, however,

is another matter.
