SO IT GOES

Posted on October 28 by artifiswords

Back in 10 years…

He might have said it

But he left a note on

The refrigerator door

It’s never been happy…

She called it love

He just called it weird

And went for a walk…alone

Prompt: A “BULLETIN BOARD” POEM

GLUE

Posted on October 26 by artifiswords

It wasn’t glue

Holding them together…

You could call it

Undeserved loyalty…

But it really was

Patience in spite of

Nothing to justify it…

You could call it stupid

But…in kindness

Give him credit…

He held onto hope until

It died in his hands

ACHE

Posted on October 26 by artifiswords

An ache

Like I never

Knew before…

How do you undo

Years given to

A mistake?

I only know

It’s the biggest job

On my plate

NOT ENOUGH JOY

Posted on October 26 by artifiswords

Will there ever be

Enough joy

In a world

Backsliding

Into hate

And despair?

When some

So-called leaders

Orchestrate

More of the same

FISH TANK

Posted on October 25 by artifiswords

The world now

Forces us to live

In a fish tank…

Hardly any privacy

Anymore…and less

All the time…

Too late to become

A digital non-entity…

We’re saddled from birth

With an indelible number

LAND OF PLENTY (OF NOTHING?)

Posted on October 25 by artifiswords

Standing with the

Fridge door ajar…

Full of jars and packages

But nothing to eat?

You’ve done it too?

No surprise…we’re

Spoiled by plenty…

Plenty of nothing

It seems…spoiling

The American Dream

MY WORK OF ART

Posted on October 25 by artifiswords

Like Mona Lisa

Only better…

Your smile

Sends me…

It carries me away

If only circumstances

Didn’t keep me glued

To a difficult spot

I’d right this moment

Fly to your side

(Something Mona’s smile

Would NEVER do)

TRUST

Posted on October 24 by artifiswords

Trust too easily broken

And near impossible

To regain when lost…

Promises that die

In your breath…

That’s how it’s done

I hear them now again…

I don’t believe them

SUBDUED

Posted on October 24 by artifiswords

Do you wonder

Why my mood

Is subdued?

You didn’t notice

I wasn’t myself?

Perhaps a glance

Away from yourself

Would tell a lot…

But, of course

I don’t expect that

CANDLE

Posted on October 24 by artifiswords

Candle burning

At both ends…

How long till

I get burned?

Again…
