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.
