"Understanding"

Laughing... Crying...

Was I ever anything other than a row boat of understanding...

Was the load a toad that couldn't carry the weight of our laughing...

Might as well be cashed-out and standing in the rain

cause you feel no pain when trading me in for gains...

I'm alone and in vain I seek growth with a cane and rope

hope my choke can be caught before it hits the moat...

Rote slop of gropes in the dark

where was I when the mark missed its lark...

I'm hearkened to flop...

So start to stab me every which-way...

I'm heading for memory lane and it's a lame avenue of grain-free

now free but am a seed for the thousands of leeches infecting peaches... 

Molesting creatures...

Electing reavers...

So quiver and see this

hear wit betrayed

leap of faith

marmalade-aid and sated breath today...

Baked blaze and graze...

Now red-in-the-face I take a taste of fae-waste

 that pale-place when aced of graceless lace I hasten traces of pages placed... 

Intent I create craters in a maze of traitors

that bladed saber hater...

I hate her,

and savor another suitor forever suited for her labors   

Later, Gator...

I love it. You write on deeper issues and subjects.
Understanding surely takes a leap of faith, a humble ego and empathy. Those who listen intently seek growth.
Those who seek truth, seek wisdom.
Those who seek resolutions are peace loving makers.
Your poetic boat keeps on rowing to great horizons.

I wish I had a boat...
Thanks, Sami, I appreciate it very much.
I seek truth, but it seems to come parcel with A LOT of extra baggage.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! 2 carry ons allowed by the airlines. They welcome you and your baggage.

Another masterpiece. Please, will you stop making me feel inferior?

But jokes apart, I really like the flow of words in this poem. It's smooth like a river. Keep writing, mate!

Love,
Vasilees.
