Good to be home

By Grim_Sorrow

It’s been ages

long from far
beyond despondent
and yet I return
the ebb and flow of artistry
pure poetry
the idolatry

it called to me

so long since we last spoke of tired eyes
my streetlight effigy
my undisputed views on modern society
the "Fall from me" faculties of past mistakes

yet here I sit before you

I’ve seen hell,
I've loved,
I've lost

I'm here...
and right now that’s all that matters.

try to keep up

the words I speak have long since fallen from the tip of my tongue to the idiosyncratic pages of some transient’s battered notebook
never have my words felt so secure.
so sure

the nightly recitation,
hail me and holy fuck.

the shattered dreams
the broken luck

Yet here I stand

here I stay

and for god’s sake let’s fucking keep it that way.

Wow, the best poem I have ever read to use the word fuck in it. lol. A fine piece, great visuals and expertly worded... thanks for idiosyncratic, I see that word enough, and never in poetry. Write on.

I can dig it. The have been experiences that define us and have brought us to the here and now that we've lost ourselves in along the way leading up to the only moment that matters which is this moment. Thanks for sharing.
