Sandstorm
Does it matter?
Do I care?
Maybe it’s the latter,
Maybe you’re not fair.
Seems like these days,
You ponder – I`m afraid.
Dragging me down. Forward.
With those special ways.
Maybe you should think for a minute.
Maybe you should practice what you preach.
You're renowned for your reputation.
I`m renowned for my speech.
Don`t give a damn.
For what you are.
Does it matter?
When blades of problems,
Cut you apart?
Relax.
Monkey say.
Monkey do.
Say, they told me, there`d be a view.
When taking the high road.
When looking at you.
We let you go down.
With a touch, a wooden spoon.
Gotta go.
Gotta run.
Clock ticking. I`m alone.
Because its.
Lunchtime.
With knife fights.
Adorning black bowties.
Under these sandstorm skies.
And so on and so forth.
And none of the above.
The Fish of the Sea.

Simply AMAZING phrasing throughout this piece.....which paints such stirring imagery in the mind's eye of the reader......and the perfection in the timing of those first three stanzas is impeccable....... and worthy of the highest praise....ALL STARS & PINNED!!.......Smokin' Grooves FISH!!.....Smokin' Grooves!!........I am proud to call you "Poet Brother" my friend.....Go!!........Later,,,,,,,,T xo : )
Awww thanks Tony and noted! Your comments always inspire me to refine my style and the techniques from everyone here on Cosmos. Peace and smiles always. Your friend FISH.
Do not imagine the un-imaginable. Or worse talk about it. You do not want to " talk up " a worse case scenario !!! Think of tranquil and serene to maintain your balance. Do not toy around with the equilibrium of life....and be caught out. You may then be determined a Prophet Of Doom. Who needs it, I ask you ?
Settle for the calming, I say. Deal with the worst when it happens, in the best way possible. Then, try to forget it as quickly as you can. For a " sound " mind !!! If, that is possible, in some parts !
Interesting work.
:)
Ahh, look on the bright side, very true. Although, balance is ironically a very fluid term, to maintain balance.... hmmm... if the balance were always constant, then innovation in society would never occur. Disturbing the balance is how we learn, how we grow and how we become more stable. Or maybe I`m just arguing for the sake and talking out of my backside! XD
Yeah f. N. A.Â
Thanks so much Liliana!
Max, it great to see someone speak their mind, pull no punches and take no prisoners.
Like this is me like it or lump it, take it or leave it devil may care attitude.
Great stanza's powerfully delivered and a great read too!!
Love the title and the message it conveys.
Five powerful stars and pinned too for another great reread.
Max, it one of those fearless poems that delivers a writer's id and thank you doing that.
Ahhh, I`m glad I could provide insight, thank you so much. I do tend to write in a way to vent or release bottled up emotions, again, your comments mean so much. Peace and smiles my friend, Max
Wow Max...what a piece! I had to look back when I saw sandstorm part 2...I thought I better find the part 1 first! And I am so glad I did! I completely agree with the other comments and love the lines Rob outlined. Truly epic verses in this piece. Kept me glued til the end! Px
Ahhh thanks so much, P! Been hella busy at the moment, but you really kind and generous to have a read of my work. And yes, thanks for noting those lines, my best inspiration comes when I`m in the shower! lol. Hope to catch up on Cosmos soon. Calm waters and smiles swimming your way! Sincerely, Your friend Max
