Chiseled Away

Jerry Bradford aka Jerry Atrixx on Nov 22, 2010

A poetic exercise in word association.

Chiseled away striated sandstone

Fizzled, bamboozled, bluntly broke down

Mercilessly weakened signal to life’s cellphone

Contact lens dropped onto the midnight muddied ground

Gristle and ground dry dinosaur bones

Whistles to virtually inept and indifferently deaf ears

Urethra scraped by capitalizing kidney stones

A life palpably paralyzed by a pageant of fears

Widdled away like hickory’s wood

Sizzling under the fire of effort resistant existence

Helplessly haunted and miserably misunderstood

Sad that you cant see clear anymore

when really you never could

For you are the only one hurt in this instance

Sad but written in a lovely way.
Happier days are ahead.

Brilliant; thanx for the reminder: most people think that what we right is from some personal experience, when mainly it’s pure creation.

Thanks you guys for commenting.

@Real Poet: Absolutely, sometimes it is very personal, but many times it is purely fiction or about people in general personified into a fictional character.
