The Constant Urge
To look behind the wall
Slaves in its chambers
Dark and cold
The eerie silence
Worded by lonesome hearts
Diabolical mask
Shielding the angel
The thoughts carved
Printed on my wounds.
The Constant Urge
To grow up and love
Capturing the time
Visiting heaven and hell
Misunderstood notions
The silken touch, nocturnal
Flying among the clouds
Sprouting wings of hope
The hour glass tumbles
Meandering sand bellows.
The Constant Urge
To live beyond ages
Thoughts of death
Vile and disgusting
Black hood knocks
"I have time," you say
Irrefutable logic
Tragedy or comedy
Be your own guide
To the destination that awaits.
This Poem is shared with One Single Impression and the Prompt is Constant.

Thanks Melanie :-)
DeleteVery nice, G.S. It flows naturally.
ReplyDeleteYour 'constant urge' here is a very natural urge.
It reminds me of The Enormous Room (1922 classic) by E. E. Cummings. He was held prisoner in a French prison at the beginning of WWI. The male prisoners had this constant urge to peek over barriers keeping the men from viewing the female prisoners and vice versa.
Thank you for peeking in on my pole dancer OSI poem.

Thanks Jim ... I haven't come across The Enormous Room, but as per your suggestion, I will definitely go through it :-)
