the shortness of breath
is never that of breadth
only in youth it was
pain so untold
rule the realm
and never did the cloud pass
until way past
until another emerged
and in fear i faltered
a teenage in shadows
whispers of death and carnage
cuddled my blood and i,..
lost myself in the murky place
where victory was mine
i reaped nothing
for nothing a sowing begets nothing
hesitation took the day
way past where a man is formed
in the kiln of life i cracked
a deformed jar is soon crushed
wasn't so lucky
a loner in life
cried for graves UN-beckoning
defined by a solitary thought of hate
and where they go when in need
indeed it escaped the lonesome
power is for the wielding
the powerful rule the frail
this power being given
i vowed...
never erect a monument
for another but myself
I write from my heart, as an amateur poet whose love for math, philosophy and knowledge guides my pen and trickles down to the essence of the poems therein. I love engaging with you: for criticism, please feel free to write your thoughts on the poems or ideas you have or even give suggestions.
