Choking Down a Scream - self-poetrait Volume 3

9 March 2012

curled up in a shallow haze

hiding from the constant gaze

mirror images escape

even closed eyes stand agape

I know there must be relief

in a heart beyond belief

if I could only find the source

that turns my pride into remorse

as the rusty hinges squeal

temple walls do crumble

I try and soothe the aches to heal

and prevent another stumble

sending off one more appeal

a sad and weakly mumble

living with the pain I feel

makes the plea most humble

when I am too stiff to kneel

and almost take a tumble

I hold on to what is real

but do it with a grumble

13 March 2012

with another summer comes

cartwheels on the beach

vibrant ukulele strums

and cobblers made of peach

sunlight shines on glistening skin

in muscled youthful play

no one really needs to win

we're all one team today

I don't set my hopes too high

I keep them out of sight

as I watch the world go by

I fear they’ll bind me tight

I know that I need to try

hard to get it right

and kill the self-inflicted lie

that I don't deserve delight

15 March 2012

peace and panic overlap

fighting for a place

losing me inside the gap

idling in the race
