Brent Bozeman Poet Rhyme

Her - Prayer of a Bewildered Poet

Her - Prayer of a Bewildered Poet

Slowly, softly, with the Truth, crush me!
She doesn’t exist, does she? 

“Her,” a construct?…  my own intimate imagery?
Some romantic symphony?…
Existing only in my memory?…
Now just another misery, ..of my own making?

Her, is not there, not anywhere!… Is she?
How dare you Create me this way!?…
The kind so prone to excruciating fantasy!?

In the end, always just me,
the letters have been sent on,
wild, free, is all I’m ever allowed to be.

Never Home, never again, tell the Truth…
will I be?

akira artly September 26, 2026 at 8:35 AM I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
