Sacred lies are running free
Cheap thrills next to nil,
Death cries sounding shrill.

Hand me a pill-
A forget-me-not,
A different script, with a better plot,
Anything's preferred to what I've got.

Foolish to hope for something more,
You're top shelf, I'm just the floor,
You step on-
Wipe your muddy tracks upon,

It was always leading to this,
Never to a kiss, let's dismiss,
The absurd notion
Of some love potion-

You were never mine to grasp.
An extraordinary lapse
In judgement, running rampant,
I was present, you were absent.

Lame? I don't think so. It is actually very powerful. It just drips with a sad reflection and resignation. Quite a contrast to your recent posts. Ghost story? Yes, it is haunting in a sad but oh, so memorable way.

I don't recall ever reading anything you've ever written that could be considered lame.
Perhaps we are our own worst critic sometimes?

Holy*****e. This hits me to the bone. Lame? I think not. If so then I am one lame soul to have felt this so strongly. Great write.

I'd like to chime in on the "horrifically lame" too. I submit this: This is one of them poems that I can oh so relate to aaaand, wish I had written because I have felt like this many a time. So, if it is indeed "horrifically lame", then (like Laura said) I'm lame too. I think the muse is still there and I was about to choose my favorite stanza but then decided, nope, it's all my favorite which equals great. Hell, look at the reads alone. People love your poetry and so do I. Guess it's back to the ol' fishing drawing board. ;-)

Dude, you have lost NOTHING. You had me ROTFLMAO whatever the hell that is..I hope I got it right.

"Hand me a pill-

Brilliant. Our muse can war gossamer or sackcloth.

Never could this flow be lame
absurd is that notion,
Thanx for sharing.
