Frozen Engagement

Frozen Engagement by Mark Miller © 12/08/2014 Dream's sound bites carry formed fright of curse delusions invite Strewed sight stricture void of heart waits failed either roams red light picture Tearing out my eyes mock the moons shamed stationed high height Worn cold trees blow their blinding snow of mindless lecture Beyond the travel spiral spared condition sanctioned position Loss of self to beauty street horizons drawn holes emptied pleasure Visions beyond galaxy's pulsar awaits Princess held antidote apparition Captured heresy deceives innocence ways formulas mathematical decay Terminus terminal haunts my every dawn belonging down in sleeps deprivation Powder paid deliverance script last remains identity drowned a cast-away Halls of penciled ink clock torn born hours tricks treat the deaden ticks Light steal being glisten rabble ashen gray child's life astray left glow blue-jay

The all caps truly terrorizes the reader in a way nothing else could have. I am feeling VietNam here, and I'm scared. This seems to be written by a man who knows. Thank you, Harry.

A sharing of the heart also leaves no room for worries of time. That's what I try to do. It really helps me.

I was hoping to see my husband's name as writer, Fauxcroft, but I do not know if he is still writing poetry. If he is, you is he, and this is about ME. oops. I meant US.

We can take it for granted, if we have had a really joyous childhood, William. These words are simple, yet, they pack truth like a punch. Nicely built poem, my friend.
