Lines forcefeeding hope
through
Invisible netting….history
is a
Viable predictor of
future events,
Again, and again, the
robotic
Voice echoes this
phrase, and hearing
This is one thing, but
listening to it
As you stare deep into
your eyes is
Depressing.
Times must change…pools
of brown
Feel like the pits
mammoths once
Suffocated soundly in…whimpering
As the tar trickled
slowly over tongue…
Vines entrench us to
our rooting, perhaps
A bit of choice is
owed blame as well, but it
Does seem, as irrational
as it may be, and is,
That we truly have no
hope, especially if we
Cannot find it within
our own person…
I stare begging myself
to focus, focus and you will
Find, the one thing
about myself that I find both
Comforting and my own…kind
of odd to say, my own, when
Referring to yourself,
is it not, for who’s else is it then?
The answers espy daggers depths….and then
Here
I have found that
thing, the one thing, no two, that I appreciate most in my
Current state, and it,
of all things,
Should’ve been the
first of all things seen…
I do like my hair, as
it freely flows about my face, draping down upon my spine, reminding me, it has
no control but physical control….(yeah right>) but lets just go with it a
little longer….I like my hair, fine, what was the other thing.? It was the beard…
Which, of course,
Is THE thing
Everyone who
Knows me
Hates the most…
You know, I just have to laugh for a moment. I wrote the prompt and posting over at D'Verse for their weekly Poetics tonight, and now, almost two hours in, I just realized I never posted my own poem yet….well, that pretty much sums up how the month's been going…
But, yeah, stop on over we're talking about ourselves. People love that don't they…but seriously, we're composing Self-Portraits and bravely sharing them with one another. Stop on by and see what we've composed. I for one am now realizing, that for me personally, I probably should've waited until I was in a better mood to do this exercise, but, hey, being honest to one's self of how one feels is supposed to be cathartic and enlightening…so, we'll see.
