Purloined

sorenbarrett

Never done anything well

everything half ass

Can't put anyone under a spell,

not a diamond just a piece a glass

 

A pawn, not enough man to be queen

moving down the board, black hole of dreams

White dawn, broken visions unseen

knight takes pawn, buried sunbeams

 

Worm infested fruit of fame

Stolen goods rust and rot

Cooking over flame of shame

smoke of deception in my pot

    A.new title utter nonsense lol 😆 oh sorrenbarret your recent work sparks such a light, love this it's really harsh I love everything about it, are we ever truly content with who we are? I'd like to believe I am. People break my balls in ways you cannot imagine each day, living in a foreign country has perks yet a very big difference in culture and work ethic that's so important for me. I've ranted enough (wonderful) 🌹

      Thank you so much Teddy I too know what it is like living in a foreign country, spending a lot of my time in Brazil The culture is different, but over the many years, I have grown to accept then love it. Every poem contains a bit of the author but I am always amused when readers feel that every word reflects my present state. I often write from what I observe in others and sometimes the opposite of what I am feeling, just as a devils advocate. Thank you so much for the most kind comments.

      You might need a different strain.

      • sorenbarrett

        Thanks so much for the suggestion. Yes but should I strain it? Maybe it strained my limits. Or is it a different strain of fruit that would not rot so fast.
