Compelled

Listen to poem:
Compelled 
David J Walker

The sad part of this obsession is
Knowing how unprofitable it will always be

Language leanings in different directions
Confessions of the soul count for nothing

A mornings reflection in vivid description 
Serving only a fraction of lost and forgotten temptations

The torments of love yet unexplained 
Colors unnamed

Secrets never revealed  
Clouds proudly morphing into forms unformed

And forms of deformed and fearful imaginings 
A sincere hope that the unknown is better than today

The poet puts on the hat of a mad vatic 
and buries his face in his hands
compelled to see the future
