Richard H. Dunsany Poet Free verse

Life Ripples

Life ripples; 
my conviction is a lie.
It lies 
because I walk out
among hallucinations
and over my body lies
the send-off flies,
oh, farewell, 
my lovely; my unwell,
you were never wise
until I despised the sterling
the fire
goes haywire
ugly hospital green
and when I'm feeling mean
I laugh at the lines between
feeling shredded
in a wood chipper
La Vie en Rose
a look that bestows
The Apartment,
my disappearance when you go,
and will my dreams
ever burst at the seams
in this realm
where what we flippantly deem
only a temporary stream
will one day be more than the perfect scene?

Doug Vinson February 23, 2017 at 10:35 PM A powerful drumbeat sounds all through this, Richard, tolling the hidden realm that may be with us, always. Well done! Cheers, Doug. Richard H. Dunsany February 25, 2017 at 7:55 PM Thank you, Doug, I like the way you describe it. Indeed, the drumming beat of that unseen realm, pounding when we believe it has calmed; a tough beast to tame. Glad you enjoyed the poem.
