Destiny

Dangling; from the ledge of impervious fate Blindfolded; step beyond the intangible gate Blunders; veer around deceptive curves Pull up those bootstraps; then tighten those spurs Rely on the inevitable; oh, fools beware Oversights and cover ups; but who will care You thought you'd taken all your hits Indiscretion; missed purpose just by an inch And the cliffhanger still awaits 10/17/2013

In between the first line and the last line, the reality paves to the hanging destination. Beautifully done, my very new friend. Loved always, bl

Thank you for the comments. I'm thinking liiving in suspense is like being blindfolded.

Was this inspired by a song, K? It reminded me of your other poem that was inspired by a song. Impressive piece as always from you. Hope you start posting more as soon as you're acclimated; we, your fans, are starving for more of your poetic gems <3

Karen Anglesey
Date: 10/24/2013 11:00:00 AM

I'm thinking this one looks similar to your poetic form. Maybe you've inspired a new rhyme technique for me. Perhaps I should write something about 'starving' for more poetic gems. Thanks !

Reads like disillusionment's destiny Karen - I respect the apparent juxtaposition of Fate and inevitability; they're relationship - suspense is a beautiful thing - J.A.B. %

Ah yes, I wonder how much disillusion is our reality. Thanks for the perceptive point of view.
