Perspective

So marvel at this warped perspective

And recognise the futility of time

Quench the hopeless with despair’s delight

And know me as empty

How could I possibly see myself as worthless

In my self-exaltation?

Immolate this sense, and soul, and cider

And down the firewhisky of your leaving…

And maybe when Poseidon’s rage meets its greater,

And I finally return to man,

I shall yearn for candy lips

And the warmth of an embrace,

And your name shall run through my mind,

And I’d hope against my logic

To see your silhouette in my window,

And maybe then, I’d know forgiveness

From you, angel, to mankind…

So ignore the flying vases,

The fleeting vagaries of life,

And stay a while with me, the hopeless,

The greater part of lesser good,

And you’d love me through the flaws

If only for this once…

Love can make us feel better. We need family and friend to keep us hopeful and positive. I like the story and the positive ending. A excellent poem.

LIked the title, the words you used, from Poseidon'srage to lesser good and the ending of "If only for this once" Anyways it was an interesting and creative poem. Nicely done.

Plus I really love your style of writing though I don't know what it's called. The way you employ mythology is also remarkable. Generally this is a well penned piece reflecting prowess.
