the pretending of intending
to ascend to who i could've been
while pretending

i'm dancing with the wind
claiming it's a friend
knowing it's the end

right behind my favorite wrong
but it's just sooooo right.
so light. so bright.
don't fight the bite
don't see the proof
don't care don't stare
don't you even dare
don't you do the Truth.

At first read, I assigned silliness to this attempt.
At second read, I discerned an underlying intensity...
a seriousness of things I myself have broached (though, I concede I like your tackle more than mine...it has a whimsical flitting I most admire).
The endeavour to push on the walls of so weighty a topic are inspiring to me, and I thank you.

I should like to read more of your pleasure. (I never call poetry 'work'). How could an act of such joy be deemed 'work', even in a 'body of'?

Well done and many thanks.

Grabby. Catchy. Light but tinged with despair....I often go for that myself. not the easiest of tasks. Well done....like the other commenter, I would like to see more from you. thanks for sharing, my friend.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
