A journey sings within, you see.
Maybe the Carpathian Mountains-
home to Dra-kuh-lah- Vlad?
Mayhap you might impale me?
To feel, even once, the pain of
agony; no more for me
the comfort of
the bar fight diffused,
the argument averted,
the wolf that ran on the banging tin.
I grow weary of safety and
long for the rage within to vent,
to be be spent on the shore-
ceaseless waves pounding in fury
on rocks that don't care
and fare no worse for it.
A bruised eye or cut lip-
why not?
Is there some grand achievement
to run one's course
and pompously claim
all was gained
through civil discourse-
none taken or granted by
human ragged force?
No blood spatters
no shirt in tatters-
how very boring, of course. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 182 [topic] => 75 [informant] => Invierno [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )

Hello there Boet

I feel asleep with my phone in hand. Reading this poem last night, by no uncertain terms am I saying this poem is boring, on the contrary I had to read it a few times before I comment. One needs to tread lightly when commenting on a piece of this magnitude. There is a very deep underlying message here. I'm no Doc, but I have been round the block a few time.

What I'm gonna say now is not an instruction to go out and become this wild caveman. Neither am I blaming the ladies for what we have become.

We men are hunters, providers, and warriors. That is our nature. Now comes this new age society that we live in and tells us to be as meek as a lamb. Ja right. Yes in to days world we do need to be more gentle creatures however we need to find a balance or we will go insane. Every man has this wild side and we suppress it every day, and thats a good thing one would say. Find your release valve my friend and live life beautifully. God bless.

Greetings
Rus

Excellent biting flow and well-written. Great use of imagery.

Keep writing it out.
