Mascar(aid)


Weeks merge
Convergent days a component, comprised of
Hour’s blood
Here and there, now and then
Every month it starts again
Lingering is
A cramping
Exposition
Of time

Years smeared across
A calendar- a sustaining void
Seconds precious few
Blonde, bruised
Forever Blue
Tokens of exclamation
Bludgeoned
Into

As premature as my claims may seem
A coward’s image I’ve begun to see
Like mascara to the cloth I run from what could be

  1. This reminds me somewhat of ...sometimes it's hard to face our truths but, we all have to in the end.
    Deep, and thought provoking. Thanks for the lovely comment on mine.

  4. Eventually we have to stop running and let our pens speak for themselves. Thought provoking write, (VERY) that will force me to leave other poems unread as I ponder for a moment. And I will certainly return to see what else your pen has to say...N
