See him standing there
in his own world:

A Frail Acquittal
self imposed, it
pennies up to the dull of chalk
laying on some schoolroom floor
remnants of a lesson plan
all that's left after the black eraser
claimed its rightful charge
and then.......... there was

only black!

I have dusted the shelves of deceit
only to find I must keep my cloth
on my hip and close at hand

I have ridden the waves of knaves
their balls of fire always explode
only to find they reinvent themselves
as the dawn of a new day reminds me
life was meant for better things

In the bread basket of our lives
where the only truth we know is told
we settle ourselves in our own conclusions

FRAIL ACQUITTALS:

there are broad and worthy thoughts
in the poets heart, waiting for release
don't fancy me with your thesaurus
I am not the candy in your drawer
I need to feel your words as they expand

Take me again to that place
where I can feel your energy
where your word-dance
becomes something more than
dead upon a page
something larger
than the space
it keeps

Let the thunder of your heart
spill your blood upon your poem
I celebrate the sighs you offer
I celebrate the anger you rage
I celebrate your good and bad intentions
and every word upon your page




There is a vague and constant calling
something larger than the basis of this poem
it whispers to me in the darkness
reminding me that I am never quite alone

There is a voice of ego that is deflated
like the popping of balloons
they whistle in the heavy air
until gravity brings them down

we are never quite defeated
If we are not hunting for another shade of black
I high step the day and break my daily bread
for the lonely souls trapped in their own chains
the sea-sawing blade of bald and lonely nights
as the Vicars and the sinners sip their whiskey
while the crow caws this poet to another poem

These flavors of verse that run through boiling fingers
that arrive here on their own, from somewhere undetermined
like Brando, I have learned to ride the waves

In the end, perfect is a state of mind


I am going to have myself a bagel
and be content that juice is something more
than what fits into a store bought plastic cup

Hello Andy

--

Let the thunder of your heart
spill your blood upon your poem
I celebrate the sighs you offer
I celebrate the anger you rage
I celebrate your good and bad intentions
and every word upon your page

--

An tonight, I have ridden your wave, and been engulfed by the torrid swall of words wrapping poetic majesty around me, and that is such a wonderful feeling. Love to read others souls, and just loved this so much.

Max
