OddlyA Poem by __ThomOddly
She admired me because I was oddly different. Different in so many different ways, yet puzzling like a Rubik’s cube she found me oddly brilliant. She witnessed me do battle in an intellectual arena and knew that it’d be ignorant to deem me ignorant, But I often bathed in ignorance, So, she deduced it was deliberate, And saw it as plain belligerent. That’s our key difference. I ask, what would you do if you saw a drowning infant? I’m no infant, but what I ask is for you to have the courage to be my deliverance. Teach me how to read love because I’m emotionally illiterate. It does not take much to be sufficient, I will not rely on if you’re consistent, However, if you accept the challenge to save me be sure that you’re persistent. What really is a consistency in a universe ruled by change? However, persistence is that piece of forever that goes against the grains, Of time, I feel chained to the anchors of change, And with you. With you I want to be oddly problematic for the hands of time to hold. I am that odd philosopher that has grown wise, feeble, and old, Searching inanely and insanely for a philosophers stone, Capable of turning copper metal into gold, So that I may become able to conceive a soul, That will harmonize with mines to make us whole. I see that hole, That missing half of my soul. Being aware of what’s not there has oddly taken a toll. So that I may cope with the hollow cold, Vices become the odd consumers to which I sell my soul. Like a product on an intangible market, Thrown, like garbage, Into a sea of darkness, Trapped in a rotting carcass, Heartless, Zipped in a black bag that’s wrapped in a Nubian carpet. Chained to concrete bricks so that I may drown in eternal darkness. © 2014 __Thom |
