Poem Artwork


DISTORTED


 

Truth suffers . . . radically distorted


Misdirected accuracy – balanced/unbalanced


Both gone to never-never land with the dearly departed


Emotions recollected . . . torturously screamed – distorted


Melodramatic actions – past orally painted


The torso dismembers while the head ironically fragments;


Fragments that thieve through an imprisoned hourglass


Isolate the sand, not the seconds – dammit!


Broken, then semi-repaired with plaster of perish . . .


Now, trying to resemble the remembrances -


Send forth the memories, or was that images distorted?


Hooray for one’s libelous, demented pride;


An impulse from birth – habit of time – casually connected


With brick & mortar, or was that tears & sweat?


Realizable myths (how dare I lie to myself). . . mirrored & distorted;


Warped patience, crippled facial expressions


My current state of mind – how unworthy


Oh, please do observe my self-effacement/resonant comfort distorted.

Tinka & Dennis;

What an unexpected place to walk into! The two of you have accomplished an Uncommon work here..it calls you in, while pushing you away at the same time! Therein, lies the two distinct thought patterns! And then, add the graphic... Outstanding!!! Applause!!! Hope you two work together again in the future.

Love&Hugs&Blessings, Rhonda

Wow! Got my attention...this is a very clever write and also true one, the truth does somehow often get distorted and how often the truth has been taken to the grave for those left behind to never know...wow this puts much thought on one's mind. Great write very captivating.

this poem externalizes internal strife in a most cohesive manner ... not easy to do when two distinct minds and sets of emotions collaborate ... well done!

Tinks

Quite a strong feeling of discontent mirrored in this introspective collaborative pen..

We have to break free from the inertia in our lives sometimes, and that takes courage and fortitude from us..

Go to it gal !
