Choosing a poet
I'm looking for a poem that speaks volumes to me
Something where communication is key
An abstract trip through anothers minds eye
A truth of self that i can buy.
Homework that i have been given
Has made me wonder and has driven
Me to the edge of distraction
searching for some attraction.
Poetry is such a personal thing
Where one will weep one will sing
Looking for something i find profound
Simply stated in metaphore bound.
Lost in this sea of language
Discernment just can't manage
To pick a voice out of the cacophony
Cry's in the dark are just too many
I'm looking for something triumphant
Humour prehaps being abundant
I'll probably give up and choose a milligan
Spike always could and certainly can.
Capture my internal struggle
The same illness we have to muddle
Through this life of ups and downs
We both endeavour not to drown.
Even tho he's no longer with us
His legacy of laughter's a bonus.
So maybe my decision is made
And at his door i have laid.
My admiration of a job well done
Despite the trials of whats not so fun
To chuckle is the silver lineing
In the clouds filled with lightning.
So search no more for an idol
shareing our own suicidal
Wish that we could make it stop.
I will keep going untill i drop
To the earth of natural causes
I try to make the best of choices
I do and will dismiss the negativity
Hopeing i'm left clinging to reality.
