After Reality

A random piece

Time was a passage of intolerable excuses

The fates lashed the muses to the yards and hailed out their storms

Driving longingly beyond the state of dim delusions

The dreamers defied duty and drifted free

All...

All...to be only thee

So free...

 

The road was battered slime like uncooked pancakes

The forest, weeping as if made from over cooked pasta

The sky dripped a horrid scent of honeyed oregano

Away went the mind, the emotions toiled low

Hand to ears, eyes screaming a whispered injustice...

Onward...

On and upward...

A word... just one...

"Sugar"

 

A joke upon the heart flattened tires of old rubber

A stench of cheap whisky, boiling in sour milk

Sweet...so sweet...a memory twice trashed

Let alone along a shadows burning curtains...

A breezy night ensued...

A burnt smell perfumed with noxious noises

An axe through my cleavage!

Not once, nor twice!

Thrice!

So tells the tale of the Severed Head Loon...

 

Yet...

That was another story...

Another day indeed for a delayed hour

Homespun and twisted

Always insisted...

Har!... the laugh died quietly.

Hmm... I remember you stating that your mind tends to go to unusual places. Okay, I can see that! This one has me going in a different direction every time I read it: a broken heart (more than once), reckless behavior or driving, life out of control... jeez, I could think of a few more than come to mind. I like a writing that makes me think - and this one does the trick. Nicely penned, Aaron.

Thank you very much! It's fun to just let the ink flood gates open and see which way the torrent will flow at times. =)

WOW. it gets me that a piece can have 40+ views and no reviews. Why is that, wolfie? Maybe because the poem is deep - but those are the fun ones because you can let your mind go where it will. I found this fascinating. The first two stanzas especially piqued my curiosity (the second is highly original) and I loved the alliteration and the internal rhyme: "Time was a passage of intolerable excuses

The fates lashed the muses" 'away went the mind" on a wonderful jaunt I also liked those last four lines of the piece...it makes me tilt my head and go....hmmmm.
NICE!

Thanks Tammy! I'm thinking most of the views I pick up are from people just viewing it from a link on my FB page and aren't part of the WC. Some come from a couple of die hard Wolfie fans that simply don't wish to express their interest publicly. I would say that only a handful of most of the views I get on poetry come from WC members that are just out reading. lol Such is the way of the Cafe. =)
