... the very definition of.
Each day that passes
each hour that drags it's rigid hands
in counting down
every miserable minute
only makes me stronger
—flexing righteous power—
because
I know - the inevitability
with absolutely certainty
In the end,
true cowardice
always
runs and hides
I force myself to contain
the rising intense euphoria
with a gargantuan act of self-control
while damming off
my raging river of sheer relief
Soon enough
it will overflow in abundance,
crashing against shores
of sweet renewal
washing you all away.
Until then
the ticking knows,
just like I do.
It's only a matter of time.

Re. ... the very definition of.
Dear BV,
What I really like about this write is the idea of the rising hero that’s tried again and again to win over the bully with kindness and understanding. They never seem to understand that and then it’s done, the underdog becomes the savior. Oy, the energy needed to do all this is beyond me. Really dig the imagery in the poem that created a whole thing in my head.
Lucky you excavating this from past writes. All I find is dust. Lots and lots of dust 😉
Standing O my friend.

Hey there, H :)
You are the best at making me feel like I've discovered something worthy amongst all my dust bunnies, as I too usually only find dust and cobwebs... Lol...
I'm glad you felt the experience of it and the thought journey that I hoped to get across. It means a lot to me that you enjoyed, dear lady.
Much love and I'll gladly share my swiffer duster with you, any day! ;p

''Cowardice always runs and hides''. So true. Kisses, Robert. Forgive: in your pic my mind sees one of those hour glass. We are fading away by the minute.....Carpe Diem. It also sees a sort of Martini glass. Enjoy it..... It also sees two nipples almost touching.....My dirty mind at work. Almost like a Rorschach test.............you are playing with my mind. I love it.

Hahaha 😂...
Your eyes aren't deceiving you... I totally chose this visual because it WAS a bit ambiguous. It is an hourglass, yes... but I also saw many different things within... A woman's svelte figure, was one..
also a martini glass 🍸, a measuring cup....lips almost kissing....
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, Robert.
I deeply appreciate it

Hey there, Relic ;)
I freaking adore your interpretation and where your mind took you, pondering the visual.. That was wholly enjoyable to read and ponder.
I am absolutely certain that this comment was thoughtful, supportive and kind... Lmao!!
Thanks for the lovely visit and sharing your thoughts with me, alas, my poems hit and miss, too.... Never am I certain of their potential!
All my warmest appreciation,

Re. ... the very definition of.
I'd like to know how you 'Damn off!' Lol. Thanks for sharing your archive. I wonder how long ago you wrote this & whether or not your new self still finds stark relevance to what maybe you hope you'd left in the past with your previous poems?

This is a new write that was inspired after reading odds and ends of stuff that I've written over the past 10-20 years (give or take...) I definitely emphatize with that past version of myself and remember her extremely well. I feel like without her going through what she did, that I wouldn't be who I am today. There's always a part me that is her however I am relieved and sooo appreciative that I was able to learn, grow, evolve and to really change. It's always (I'm always) going to be a work in progress, but I do think reflecting back is a healthy reminder to keep myself or anyone who takes stock of their lives, on the continued right path, ahead. Not feeling regret nor a single solitary bit of shame.
Thank you so much for reading and asking the questions that really needed pondering or additional insight. I am deeply grateful
and very much obliged!
