Poem Artwork

 

Thumbs up
Then slowly pointed inward
Rough day symptoms
Life long dilemma
 
Twisted incarnation
Writhing in the breeze
Some call it manic
Me
I call it real
 
Chronic pain
Abundant
My diabolic friend
No need to pretend
With me till the end
 
Bright city lights
Beacon of disaster
Haunting things to come
Blues
A point of view
 
Highs
Conquer lows
Acceptance softens blows
Not everybody knows
How to deal with the mirror
 
I smile in defiance
As I always have
To sleep would be a dream
Yes
Pun intended……….

Epiphany by Gary Stephens

“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
