In the Fullest Appreciation of My Ultimate Demise

Contributed by jimxxx on Thursday, 29th November 2012 @ 08:16:23 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

I see you there,
straddling your backwards chair, the fragrant sense
of supremacy easing from you.
I am thin, behind the jars of air,
put into my place. Into the sun painted urn that everyone eyes, but
I wait to ask you, warm to ask you
were you the script or the break through?
I brought you to the light, didn’t worry
very much that others saw you as… well,
didn’t worry much about it at all. And you sent me,
and I sent you, but we always came back
to our sanctified ground, not a friend to be found. I needed
you to keep the thorns where they belonged
and to see the sails at their fullest- still

I watch you now,
moving among the people, contented, complicit,
an x-ray of my former bones,
and cannot tell if you were ever convinced-
Convinced that the longer road wasn’t worth the sorer legs.
I see you there, the beam of a stare,
and want to know-
On this day of days,
as I steal away,
born to a common man’s death
were you merely a script,
a waste of my breath?

jimxxx, PLEASE: To help keep this site INTERACTIVE, please read and comment on at least 1 poem for each one you submit.

Thank you.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
