Means Of Permit

How can living
be scratched.
By present
writer
of poetic verse?
A poet
of interest
is relic read
from bygone age.

A living poet is
in appearance
a valueless medium
Though avenue
of possibility
to be explored.

Publishing may permit
a means establishing.
Time to expend
on enduring passion.
Wish to express and stress
heightening underlining.
Defining differing themes
in thoughts
like wavering streams.

Health emotions left ragged
shifting eddies in turmoil.
Life wasted in passing time.
In circles rippling screeching nervous energy.
Awaiting awaited
decisive developments
past still reaches
lies sight vibrating happening.

Time seems to pass
and in surreal passing.
Where desire lives
skill will may follow.
Time claimed chained.
Harnessed won.
Not lost awhile. Realized
embodiment escapes dreams.

Carefully navigating
waiting web
strains spent snaring life.

Looking for fabled chance
mystic key
out in labyrinth.

Uncharted byway.

Getting grasping
pouncing upon
creative thought.

Getting
creative
thoughts
down.
Charted on paper.

Soft
dreams
deep
calling.

Time
incorporating
fevered
relaxation.

Time write
wrought to come.

Horizons loom
distantly
past cloud banks
vision.

Place of meeting
whereupon rest
circular
skies.
