Regardless of Whom Is

Regardless of whom is… 


Aching, my pen moves, lines hold in place
words found wandering about my heart
Ink dries with tear drop accuracy, streaked
forming in versed collections of envisioned truth

From the gallery they call, teeth bared
ready to rip the pain from any pore,
handing down punishment, sentences
that do not fit the stanza

Still I write, poetry, 
combing thoughts of fine woven moments
presented in decorative motifs
with strawberry jam and blue button accents

Dangling in the midst of green tailed hate,
baiting the wide mouths of insistence steadily
challenging belief and validity
with a tarnished tea spoon IQ

Fingers tremble behind rolled down sleeves,
three-quarter dreams fall head first into 
basement personalities dancing in
ugly nightmare robes, sneering

And I scribble, pristine fonts of flowery flow,
enchanted lines of wisteria wrapped creations
Weaving along vine covered fences  
even as eyes peer through morning glory gates

I know this fear, you feel it too, the watching,
from every corner, tiny squares of horrific masks,
eyes floating in mud garden baths
dripping blood the color of…the color of, well, blood

But I must write, hoping you see, praying you read,
sending these phrases on braided thread
spun of love, stitched of affection, patterned desire
regardless of whom is…

This is painfully perfect conveying every poet's inadequacies and wanting to captivate fellow poets. I wish I could pick out one line that enthralled me, but I'd have to copy the whole damn poem. This is definitely one which I wish I had written. Par excellence Chris, much respect. 7+ fave.

This poem is an instant classic, Chris. It's a 7+ and going in the fave for sure. So many great lines in this one. Where to start? I loved the ... tarnished tea spoon IQ line. And the last stanza is poetry perfection. Wonderful poem. Love your work as always. Blessing of love and peace to you.

Thank you so very much Freddie, I wasn't sure how this one would be accepted. It's not my standard love poetry but it does carry a special meaning for me. Thanks so much again for leaving a comment on this one and liking it so much
