Soul Searching Deliberation
I write for me and sanity
poetry my liberty
I bleed on virgin pages
history lost to transcending ages
of love and life I often write
questioning wrong from right
pensively in reflection
self-absorbed by introspection
soul-searching deliberation
mind-boggling flagellation
infatuated consternation
meandering to destination
pen on page sweet release
quill and scroll inner peace
truth is found in fantasy
reality masked by comedy
my poetry has piercing pulse
lyric lines betray impulse
metered yes or maybe not
rules unlearned I have forgot
thoughts unfold by casting lots
garden grown forget-me-nots
ambiance has sacred spots
scripts unfurl Gordian knots
I held the key sheared the lock
broke chains turned back the clock
a Phoenix rose from desert sand
and burned the devil’s clutching hand
