A Knot of Roots

...and so a million lives pass by and I'm still wondering sometimes about the Gordian Knot I keep atop a throne and I don't even want it with me I try to unravel it periodically but time and again I know better just to leave it well enough alone because it's tied to my insides …

Unresolved

It's a wonderful night tonight and all thoughts repeat endlessly I think it's because the same moon moves us both in opposite directions and it's not like we lack focus it's just that we got lost and I can't lead the way 'cause I barely know where we're going just that we're going away Has …

Too Much Too Little Too Late

We’re much later than you hoped for and I am in the wrong still lost in the hope that I can put it right because you told me so so just talk to me please just tell me so And you turned your back on all these moments hoping that they'll vanish and meanwhile you …

We Are Nemesis

In one of those precipice moments I'm watching the ants run away from the light rushing into their little homes and I think I'm not unlike that I'm just not on the right track Because I am lost by default Don't you ever just wish to slip the surly bonds and disappear? not that I'm …

Grand and Intimate Aspects

It was the mild feeling of incompleteness, I'm sure that somewhere down the line I missed the mark and fell a couple lives too short well, Tranquil, those were my darkest times and there's still time before the dawn why don't you spend the night than just up and leave instead? Because here I have …

A World Where Anything…

Bittersweet silence, tasting the words that you've heard You listen in, listening in and you hear the sound of everything grinding to a halt And how can anything go on after this, did you ever wonder? How did the world seem to just keep turning never the mind to pay to a stranger? A bitter …

Triumphal: OctPoWriMo 2019 Master Post

This is the list of the poems I have written and posted for October Poetry Writing Month (OctPoWriMo) 2018.  If I used the prompt, then the prompt is added to the poem title. This year did not go as planned.  Life interfered more than once and I was unable to get to 31 poems.  Even …

Triumphal (Twenty-Two and Final)
