Forlorn, Forgotten




The heart is in the hand,
the ladles in spoon
dripping,
begging, for
anything more
than a simplified version of hope

Fault belies the figment
of solitary contention

Fact betrays with its magnetic lustfulness
the pheromone’s however, grow
lost when companioned by distrust’s harvest

Failure sires grief
A grief begetting autonomy, one
of sorrowful denouncement, where
streams of guilt forever pervade those
crescendos that your secrets keep—

Blissful repression, questing amongst
the pungent pittance of gnostic glaze,
purveying the articulations buried deep,
into A place, further than that of sleep

Archaeology of the symptoms and the broken
accord, traversing diamonds not quite, fully self-absorbed—
abandoned by the vast rapids flow, with but one paddle and
A stream so cruel

Built within every longing moment, there, betwixt the
now and those faded memories when time still favored
the moments yet to come, while still
existing was a sense of where

Stop on over to D'Verse, where every Tuesday we have the greatest Poetry Celebration on the planet.  Yep, Open Link Night opens at 3pm and runs throughout the night.  With so many talented poets showing up each and every week, you just have to head on over and see what's being shared at the pub, always a great time.

  3. Sounds like a stream that would surely be up shit creek, without even a paddle to help wade through the muck. About as fun as getting hit by a truck.

  4. This is deep and dense, Fred. Doubt my comment can do it justice. I understand, I think, what you mean by failure siring grief. It can cause the grief, which them becomes autonomous and lives inside the self in streams, though perhaps buried streams, etc.

    "Failure sires grief
    A grief begetting autonomy, one
    of sorrowful denouncement, where
    streams of guilt forever pervade those
    crescendos that your secrets keep—......"

    I have only written my thoughts on one of your stanzas...but trust me, I found the whole poem masterful!

  6. This is one of those poems that begs to be read aloud--subtle, effective alliteration and assonance.

  7. "Blissful repression, questing amongst
    the pungent pittance of gnostic glaze" love that!
