Unworthy of my embrace, I set you free
Your tortured soul vanquished
To bow down in hopeful solicitude
Blinded by my reflection, deafened by my musings
My wishes consulted are now mere souvenirs
Cast asunder, broken
Allusions of noble thought scattered to the heavens
Thus to rain down upon your grace
A cesspool of your disgrace
Dishonoured, lost, without…
not song nor sonnet
Whores chaste waste in lace
Slay the day at night they play
Say Good-day or just say Hey
It’s way okay it’s nay to pay
They sway away among the prey
They’re fleet of foot and not of clay
In hay they roll for pay they lay
In haste they’re chased in waste…
a poem
Do I need to cast out seven demons
Or wander a desert and find all the reasons
Lay prostrate in a temple
Search for the damned
Cry for the babies lost in Vietnam
Can we find the answers in those without a voice
Are we downfallen and do we have a choice
Who are…
The piece is good Greg, and is OK as is, but you could make a fist full of [let's say succinct] singular topic articles which would focus your ideas into an [apparent] more powerful argument -- People can confuse easy !
That said: I don't get that people don't see Medium as a business -- and ALL is up for grabs -- it's a dictatorship -- not part of the American constitution or involve Worker's rights --LOL
a poem
Dreams are foregone by memories unformed
In a breath, in a heartbeat, in elliptical storm
Grand hopes will brandish against merciless skies
Heed the day born anew on a night made to fly
Wonder is rought when expectation’s not seized
In moments of flourish, in moments of ease
Sentiment resists…
poem
On the street they pray
Hands out
Palms up
They do it all day
Got change, a cigarette stray
Inclement of weather
Estranged
With mange
Enslaved in their ideals
Not to save
Yet, with cardboard
Can rearrange
Like a magic wand was waved
Transform like magic
On their little stage
A tiny house
From which to play
To display
Homely items gay
A squidgy at hand…
poem
Do you seek me out in vain hope and glory
Your pride pricks nature in her courage
To seek me in longing, by land, sea or carriage
The answer to your season of discontent
I live and breathe, still eat and drink merry
Roam the woodlands and cross at the…
a poem
Are you fraught in constant thought
And constant fears and who endears
And how you stand, what you command
In colored dreams and tortured schemes
Little whites lies and feigned surprise
At wits end in false pretense
And in that sense you can’t commend
Trapped in the spiral there’s no denial
You’re trending down right to…
a poem
If I could whisk you away
Or else abandon all hope
Abandon all hope on any given day
All who enter here, as they say
I could walk in breezy meadows
I could wait a line lonely fellows
Cast my shadow mean and wide
Repel your rising tide
…
a poem
False in sanguine hope is such a hazy shade to share
Mused in craze with days ablaze caustic and toxic is the lair
Grow our hair without a care there’s something in the air
On holy hill we chill our pride with still a cross to bear
Hope…
