Your Poetry Dot Com - Greetings and Salutations

will have forgiven me
for ambitions continually crushed..
that an affluent end
will make up for my book of ages;
the indigence,
albeit: my many heart warming salutations..
that a day of success
will lull to sleep,
the shame of all
my fatal incompotence?

OH! Dear friends, your psalms
are written in diamonds
with love and strength,
higher than all joys
and all fame
and are the reason
why and how I came..
and in any case,
that the greetings of wonders
be applied by accident??
..that all my written movements
of a social brotherhood
not be cherrished
as a progressive restitution
of my own orginal freedom?

But they, who by a better will
and who shall always pervade,
ask that I enjoy myself not,
by the greetings and salutations
they have forbade
but by other words, not so amusing..
thereby, wounding me..
leaving me to the torment of a new silence.

I guess trust is not
of the quintessential human trait-
