prosperovity
the presence of your beauty
dissappeared in the city
grace you have displaced
shinning soul has become dull
light has become dark
in the souls gravity of pull
unwashed face left out in the cold
burning barrels of wasted gold
captured in a ruin of despair
once long ago
your elegance claimed
the faces of treasure hunters
seeking the mother load
a blade at you side
hoping to catch a
four legged foe
covered in the weather
that has been brought down on you
trying to reclaim the
dances of yesterday
with shattering no end
of shaking your
soul.
dissappeared in the city
grace you have displaced
shinning soul has become dull

unwashed face left out in the cold

captured in a ruin of despair

your elegance claimed
the faces of treasure hunters
seeking the mother load
a blade at you side
hoping to catch a
four legged foe
covered in the weather
that has been brought down on you
trying to reclaim the
dances of yesterday
with shattering no end
of shaking your
soul.

A very perceptive write... these lines are first class:
"the weather that has been brought down on you
trying to reclaim the dances of yesterday."

Although there are some beautiful cities, nothing can quite compare with nature's unaltered beauty. Though light has become dark in the souls gravity of pull may be true, how do we know what is the true evolution of change and what is ultimately to be considered progress? It is certainly not unwashed face left out in the cold. Thank you for your thought-provoking write.
Thank you for your kind comment.

Now there's one I intend to score big on during my next Scrabble game!! Any one that challenges me on this word... I'm sending them to you!!
Very deep, and extremely well thought out write kickit! Driving that truck must give you plenty of time for deeper thinking!!!
It's a real blessing for me to see a truck driver sharing his talents for writing awesome poetry and being such an active part of the P.C. family! Thank you for that!!
If ever you're passing through Grants Pass on I-5 - give me the heads up and we can meet for lunch or dinner sometime!!
thank you dear glad you liked it.
Ya know that would be somethen so cool to have created a new word that makes it in webster or wikipedia to validate it.
bring them this way if anybody wants to argue that word i'm not scared.
not much else to do driving so ya alot of thinking goes on in my little brain. still haven't figured out how to become a millionaire instantly tho.
That is a great welcome my friend. Have to say it is really nice being part of PC familiy here. it is my privlidge to share my thoughts my work here with people of great creativity.
Thank you for sharing your works as well.
Enjoy all your reads. all though it is hard to make comments on all the poetry that is submitted cause of my driving. right now i should be driving but i try and take time out to comment and submit. for me it is a great stress reliever to be able to come here and share.
I was just in oregon this last week went down past salem then back up into washington and took a couple days off. it's been a while since i been in grants pass. i'll sure have to take you up on that offer when driving by next time.

i was approached on this site from another author that lives in denmark with the same situation about the government and he had to be careful about his publishing also. their is a website now that you can do your own publishing it is lulu dot com... in fact this author that approached me wished that i publish a book and he be the person to do the analysist on my poetry and do my introduction it he wanted to do this cause he found my messages in my poetry to line up with his ideas about the world we live in and in denmark the government will like you say shut you down to say the least the title of my book is matter of life: simply hard. i have plans on doing another one called matter of life: simply funny.. it would be amazing if i can connect you two he has started a poetry revolution to try and unit us poets to change this world we live in from the destruction that we are causing to the earth. his name is stephan attia.. you can find him and his books also on lulu dot com.. I know you would find him fascinating...
mike..
it is great to hear from some one else with the same ideas...
mike...
I am so ready Mike. let us do it then.
