Anselmo Boles Poet Rhyme

Desperate Wish

Desperate Wish


               Dreaming of clouds watching frigid rain enfold arid ground

               Disjointed thoughts embraced soothing translucent fingers

               Lightning unveils upheaval within brewing without a sound

               Eyes search for meaning demanding answers that matters



               My mind bathes in a quagmire of a premeditated reminder

               I was not the hero I pondered I might have been eons ago

               The more the heart races toward that impregnable frontier

               The lesser the value of such a desperate wish to not forego

Valsa George December 26, 2021 at 5:49 AM 'Lightning unveils upheaval within brewing without a sound' This single line illustrates so much. The inner agony and the feeling of vacuity come upper most however hard one tries to push them back. Still one wishes to think himself that he has been a hero. A profound write Anselmo

Gershon Wolf October 23, 2021 at 7:24 PM You have given me something deep to ponder on a rainy day, Anselmo. Thank you and God bless, gw Anselmo Boles November 21, 2021 at 1:02 AM Amidst turbulence, he looks back and tries to find something significant that he has done to pacify his heart, then realizes that there is nothing there worth claiming as a resounding victory, and yet he keeps insisting instead of letting go. That's the best description I can give. Thanks, Gershon...ab
