DAMN FATE!
February 2008©Judith A. Boggess
Bewildered,
dissatisfied,
irritated,
distressed,
alone . . .
so alone.
ongoing battle,
emotions
roller coaster
high up,
low down,
stomach churns . . .
loyalty . . .
well-chiseled trap,
integrity grins,
bears the rap.
fate deals
cards of chance
places bets into
abyss of possibilities,
with no winning hand.
mirror reflects
unknown alien features,
questions go unanswered,
refusing label of
good,
bad . . .
for what is, is,
what will be
isn’t yet.
Damn fate!
its interminable wait
with dark days
casting lingering shadows,
blanketing hot sun
ready to awake
blossoms fortified
by tarnished tears,
pink hope,
red promises,
green future
rainbow wrapped joy . . ..
Damn fate!
Political Poetry and Reflections on Life & Loss poetry is written in an uncommon lyrically staccato style ~ Poetry that is easily understandable, but sometimes hard to hear.
