What Goes Down, Must Come Up
by Kelley Appleby
copyright 04-02-2008


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
Rummaging through piles...
Years stacked up
One
On top
Of the
Other...
Searching for answers
To questions
That apparently
Weren't filed therewith...
Perched atop this heap
Of biography,
Wanting to dissect
The intestines of my soul.
An autopsy self-ordered,
To be performed
On the annihilation
In my past...
Speculation about the present
And the apprehension
Of the future.
Wishing I could tighten the reigns
On my thoughts
That tend to run wild.
Longing for contentment,
Wishing I could forget what I remember
And remember what I forget.
For all my haunting memories to fade,
Each regret to mellow,
Every sorrow to evaporate
Into thin air...
I fall freely
Descending wistfully into the dimness
Of my faith...
Past yesterday's hopes... beyond time-worn dreams
And age-old, moth-eaten confidences...
Above me bygone promises hover
Abandoning further attempts of allurement.
Eventually I touch down
Settling far below my past...
Time spent analyzing all that
I have come through...
Ropes of braided pain
That used to hold me back
Ultimately
Begin to unravel.
I begin to draw on a reservoir
I didn't know I had...
I will need it for the long journey
Ahead
For I realize
Now...

The only way is up.

It seems that your poetry contributions have increased since I last read your work concerning travel. It seems that you have an ability to choose topics that everyone can relate to, which is not a bad thing. A poem does not have to be on an esoteric topic for it to be poetic and reach people. You have done such with this work. It seems dark at first, but in the end it offers hope for us all.

I wish I could have left an insightful comment regarding the technical qualities of your poem, but my esteemed peers have beat me to the punch. It is no use for me to flog a dead horse by repeating what they have said, so I offer you my congratulations for a work well done. I find everything they mentioned to be in good order. Keep up the good work!
