the Saboteur

The saboteur waits in invisible places

In catacombs of my imaginings
In vestibules of creative squandering

In sorted words and mistaken ramblings
In training camps of poetic floundering

The saboteur dismisses all agendas except its own

Hides within my dreams
And trounces on my thrones

It revels in being a master of conceit
Assured its features will not be shown

Its thrives on lost longings
Under the guise of universal belonging

Definitely home grown

The saboteur lurks in the dark forests of my wanderings
And is always just a step away

There is definitely "the Saboteur" in everyone of us. We just have to learn to keep in way out in the distance.

"Awareness" is a form of insanity that creates a sanity that is hard to put into words. You have done well.

Intense but also one other writers, artists and other people of ability and art know all too well. You just seem to find a way to express it so well.

"In training camps of poetic floundering" You visit that place too, huh?

There will always, always, ALWAYS! be a force that comes against ones good work, or attempts at it. We live in a universe where everything has an opposite.

I have fought against this puke since I was six years. At least that's when I became aware of the fight.

Sobering and relevant thoughts Jude!

You've got that right, Robert.
And they are subtle bastards at that.

A fine work from you, yet again.

you do well to write of the ways of the saboteur, Jude, and to expose its tactics and its rationale. acknowledging the stealthy trickster that lurks within is the only hope of escaping its lure into the trap of self-destruction, disguised, of course, as triumph and success. checking my inner shadows, Dawn
