Begin Again...

Howdy all! I don't know if anyone here remembers me but I dusted off my poet's hat again lately and thought I'd pop by. Life has been as crazy as it ever was and that's provided a wealth of inspiration...

1) Broked

 

Twisted and broken,

beaten down.

Tired and lost,

about to drown.

Sandpaper retinas from

too many tears,

Too many rationales

over the years.

 

Burnt and bruised

left alone.

Hate and loved,

chilled to the bone.

Heartbeat crushed from

too many lies,

Too many emotions

behind the eyes.

 

Up and down,

turned around.

Past and future

buried underground.

Torn apart from

too much hurt,

Too many kicks

into the dirt.

 

 

2) inspired

heaped vodka tumble

of auburn hair

and helplessness,

caught,

calmly collected by

patient hands

with turbulent depths,

maelstrom,

underneath a ten day stay

of placidity

impaled on reality,

recalling whispers

in the dark.

our poetry goes no where,

my heart stillborn

on a Sunday mourning,

so tentative

the details flow,

stuttering

through a beginning

that cannot be,

but in dreams see succor

and smile at dark eyes

beneath the brim,

recalling turns of phrase

in the light.

[Ozymandias]

I enjoy your turns of phrase. "underneath a ten day stay" or "impaled on reality". Very simple, yet very evocative. And wellllllllcome back too!

Thanks, Ozy... I've been writing more lately. Slowly, I'm regaining the impetus to write and post. As always, I'm glad to hear my poetry is evocative.
