The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

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.

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.

 

(waves) Glad to be back!
