As I embarked upon My odyssey
Albeit with false modesty
Completely unbeknownst to Me
What a cross to bear that it would be
Looked at with scrutiny wherever I go
In a manner perceived all too apropos
As the pain that life often bestows
Is most often felt by those
Who tend to leave Themselves exposed
I'd rather not count the number of times
When through the canal of an open mind
I've given birth by choice to design
To something conducive to free verse or rhyme
The carousels of snow that I've frollicked upon
That have melted as fast as the Winters have gone
I've been a portrait that has yet to be drawn
As well as the lyrics to an unfinished song
Just as a subject becomes at one with the Artist
And the light becomes at one with the darkness
An eclipse that one could look into
So They could go blind and therefore better see You
Am I the word that one thinks for two Weeks to write
Or the poem that comes to Them in one Night
To dream alone or to sleep with the masses
Opting for the former each Evening that passes
Dignity and shame share the same space
As a movie with the novel on which it's based
A block of ice embraced by the sun
Until the whole world and I melt into one
An immoral with principles the size of a dime
Eager to prove it time after time
A poet who knows when the words that He's penned
Have exhausted Their stay and must come to an end

A rhyme that comes in waves just as thoughts sometimes do. A very nice write
Thanks so much for Your kindness.
Please take good care of Yourself and those You hold dear and have a great,safe and peaceful Day and Weekend. 😊 😁
If I may beg to differ, the creature cannot aspire to his creator, as shown by ours when He sends His prophet Jeremiah to the potter to observe. Yet your woven tale of chagrin and discovery is beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and an irresistible winsomeness. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much!!!
Please take good care of Yourself and those whom You love and love You and best of luck with Your respective future endeavors. 😊 😁
