Misgivings

Ever present embers stoked by wrath and tears

Anchor clenched tight over ever looming fears

Trepidation chokes thick with muted colors

Broken and alone I call out for my brothers

Pawns slaughter knights whole kings crown queens

Bolt strait to the heart rings true by artificial means

Lies whisper blatantly while truth stands mute

Talks of symmetry flow deep to the root

Words alarm wounded soul barely kept intact

Lonely vices and bound hands are not to detract

Glances of a past future shows transgressions of fate

Grounded hopes not by fuel but rather pilots oh so late

Timid intentions wrought of worldly loyalties spoiled

Breath of morning light stopped short of foiled

Time wears thin yet renders through both flesh and bone

My regrets secured by glass house awaiting thrown stone

You finish with a bang with this poem. I love the imagery- all your poems have excellent imagery, like a collage of pictures flying by.

Thank you Alex - I started off slow and simple but I believe I have grown into writing quite well.read moreThank you Alex - I started off slow and simple but I believe I have grown into writing quite well.

That is odd as my English class scores from high school were not always top-notch.
