I LOST A WINDOW

06 15 12

I found a window in the rain
but I had to redefine the sky.
I found the answer in a bag
but despondency I had to buy
with the sense I culled from drawn
infinities erased by dawn.

A window, an answer,
the clarity of a cancer.

I found the nightgowned elder May
dabbing garden green with yellow sponge
of dandelions; ailing May's
sacrament of season will expunge
any scraps of monotone
eye time. My time. I should have known

the almanac I wrote would long
not to be the poster of descent,
and would besmear the writer's wrong
scenes of coal-shaped clouds in what was meant
clandestinely to protect
the window I alone detect.

A dasher, a dancer,
a June bug's sick romancer.

I contemplated greenhouse life:
give the sun to me and I will peel
the skin of heat off while it's ripe,
leaving yellow blindness for its reel
to the rhythm of the time
that matters. Ours? A gofer's rhyme.

A rover turned gofer,
indifferent interloper.

The seasons in my morning tea
on the morrow will be spit out, not
to nurse my timid tongue's "esprit"
from the cower of some inky blot
to the velvet threads of voice -
I'd rather spike the very choice -

but rather to allot a choke
with the room to paint a cynic wince
with regurgitation's slick yolk.
I'll then be a chicken, wont to mince
all the words I long to flame
with the flare bullet of my name.

Window, answer,
sick romancer.
Pane of reason,
calender treason.

Thank you so much :D Rarely have I laboured over a poem like I did with this one haha

Thanks so much...this one was a labour of love for sure, and definitely did not come overnight lol I do consider it one of my literary babies now :)

Great flow and rhyme! I think I understand the first stanza haha, so therefore it is my favorite. Great poem overall though! Your vocabulary is phenomenal by the way.

[kublakhan27]

Thank you so much for all the compliments :D I think the longer it gets, the deeper into myself it goes haha

[Admiral Kirk]

Wow, this is really good. It definitely deserves thought that I don't have the attention span to give... This is great, you have some pretty epic rhymes in there. It flows well, and you have quite a way with words... I'll definitely give this some more thought, lol... Just, eh, give me some time to interpret it... :P Anyway, great job!
