John Lawless Poet Free verse

Don'T Go Near the Edge

Don’t Go Near The Edge


Rumblings of battle
		resound weakly
					muffle
						        fear’s

								labyrinthian lunacy .

“Don’t go near the edge!”

Rules change
		shadow’s lie
				truth waffles
						  doubt dances

“Facts not in evidence”

			become reality’s
						playmate

Coaxing
		cajoling
				enticing
						whispering

“None have ever returned!”
				unchanged
						unfettered

Reason’s building blocks
				overwhelmed

by the towering

				  edges
					
					    	of thought.
