This was written in the aftermath of my last divorce (30 some odd years ago). Let’s just say that I was in a particularly dark and cynical mood for ‘a time’ thereafter … I should have seen it coming, but looking back, I was in denial… appearently…
Mr. Bubble
In shifting rainbow hues, the possible future
Seen on a shiny, transparent screen.
Shifting, then steady as we float along,
Colors intensify; imagined form is found.
Edges, spikes and pins, their gleam no longer seen,
Not even the one – bubble bound.
With a horrid grin of malicious glee,
The worm-ridden, self-infected,
Dream-killer lunges.
He pricks the beautiful, the delicate, the free.
Then gloats at the ease of his bubble – pricking.
The bubble rider, now wet and cold, plunges to the
Dream-death implicit in – the pinprick’s
Terminal black hole.

Nothing like a failed relationship to bring out hurt and anger, which, in my opinion, feeds the best poetry. Misery is one hell of a muse.
I may have to pen a poem in her honor.

Yes, ‘tis me.
I’ve been caught up in some personal issues that caused me to delete my blog. Nothing I want to go into here, but if you want, you can email me. I have a contact form at the bottom of my blog.

I commented earlier on your poem, but either it didn’t go through or ended up in your spam folder.
Anyway, I like your poem. A failed relationship can cause much bitterness and anger, not to mention awful hurt. It’s a blessing (or maybe a curse???) that some of us can write out the poison, lance the boil, so to speak. I know it works that way for me.

wktucker, thanks for reading and commenting!…; -)
I agree with your assessment. I only started writing as therapy after my first divorce… and have continued ever since… bleeding my despair and hopes to the pages of my journals… Thanks again for stopping by…; -)
