Falling graciouslyA Poem by Scott Troy
Tides
An ebb and flow A mind lapsing A heart yearning An empass Peering through a needles eye A sharp and narrow contrast What I thought I wanted What I thought I needed The name of a woman The heart of a man An honest feeling Timged by thoughts of being lonely I created peril I lounge In regret Symptoms of being myself Regrets of not Being so much more Wallowing Seemingly hopeless Pushing feelings down Compressing in extremis Finding solace in empty women Knowing I'm better Knowing I As a man Let thoughts linger Fester To amount to nothing Empty promises Pain an detrement There is no salvation In the void I've created No woman No miracle That can save me I've no course But to man the shovel Put truth to words And find myself Out of the hole I so agreeably Dug myself into Salvation lies in acceptance An the ability No The drive To persevere And find The better man The Pinnacle I know I can be © 2019 Scott Troy |
