Tiffany Harvester Poet Free verse

Muse Deconstruction

I CHISEL AND HAMMER
ON THIS WALL OF BRICKS
POUND AND PUMMEL
JUST TO GET TO YOU
WHEN THE BRICK HAS CRUMBLED
I FIND A WALL OF GLASS
THAT SURROUNDS YOU
LIKE A CAGE
I CAN SEE IN
BUT YOU CAN'T SEE OUT
SILENCED BY FRUSTRATION
I SIT AND CONTEMPLATE
YOU IN YOUR SHELL
I FIND TIME 
HAS LOST ITS MEANING
I CAN STARE FOREVER
INTO YOUR ABYSS.

J. Michael Sutherland May 13, 2018 at 8:47 PM Reminds me a lot of poetry I wrote when I was younger. I especially like the last two lines as they really made me FEEL when I read them. Overall, the theme and imagery is quite nice. Very unique overall as a poem. A nice read that can make me relate to your frustration and be fascinated by the last few lines. Tiffany Harvester May 14, 2018 at 2:16 AM Thank you, friend. This is pretty old actually. I'm working on some newer ones. So glad you like it.
