Confessions of the Charmless efforts of a dying breed...

The charms of life it seems keep slipping through my fingers
The grind of daily monotonies make even the best beans seem impotent
I can't seem to start the day without dragging myself through the rings of denial
Sleepless nights blur into facetious days dragging the spirit down deeper
Despair? No, not there yet, but desperately close. The anvils on the back pressing
Urgent, urgent! But there's many more to carry heavy and groaning never ending
Fun passes arrogantly by in big parades with no hint of an invitation.
On and on it goes into one oblivion then the next, a haze of monotony
back breaking, spirit taking, mind numbing work...
And the charms of life hang upon others necks, the lucky, the fortunate
The ones fate hold dearly, me I am just a speck brushed aside
a fool for believing I had a right to a charmed life.

absolutely excellent, great

absolutely excellent, great atmosphere of drudgery with an almost (emphasis on the word 'almost' also) sarcastic bluntness about it. i think it's beyond great actually.

Give me time, and I surely

Give me time, and I surely will, I try and read it all! Every one either in bulk from one author or as new posts go up. ;) I liked your work, but like many other poets we aren't the best judges of our work and how and who they speak to. So post it all and let those who dare to comment let us know our failures and successes we shall ever endeavour to capture our verses from our egotistical selves ;p HugSS

...you of all people deserve the life you dream of, dearest Ssmoothie, go out and take it by the horns.
Make life your bitch!
