Octopus

A myriad of dreams flows,

Upon my future,

 

But I’m still reluctant,

To take such a prize,

That has been set up;

 

Is it such a resistance,

To acknowledge my true self,

I would rather hide

In my sloth?

 

Is it such a pressure,

To get it all done that,

I know not when,

Will it be the next post?

 

Unfortunately,

What my body can conceal is,

The present of a dreadful night,

 

In which,

Purple ghosts gamble

On my room’s table,

And figure out what task would

Come next;


Unfortunately,

My sweat is of a thirsty worker,

Whose hands compress,

The labor of a better life,

 

In which,

Salt & water give birth

Another minute for,

A nostalgia,

That is written

On a dusty scroll;

 

Yet God remains on his Throne,

Expecting me to find,

The key of the Light;

 

He longs to make some music thereof,

Whereas,

If he could dance,

Everyone would be a believer.

Dante 1208, I had some type error, and my IPad is unruly, I just think this poem shows a very clever, and creative mind. Your poem speaks in volumes, your imagery is complementary to your work. Both unique and special, take care, I enjoy your work. Allseasonsverse

Thanks for your comment.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
