Guilty A distant gaze finds me in contempt. Nothing left but treachery. Hope, but a fleeting memory. Judged and struggling for this last breath. Vigilant scowl pierces twilight clear. Split the silent night. The reaper harvests This lamenting spirit. I am but a man condemned. Conscience executes This mired soul. Guilty of contempt. Found in this distant gaze. Imprisoned, always, within the confines of a mirror. Copyright, Kevin V. Reese, 2004 |

A good poem...written from your feelings within...i like the choice of words too... Goldenrose. ''Death where is thy sting? Love where is thy glory?'' William Shakespeare. |

I too have gazed upon that mirror. As always, I do so enjoy your work and your way with words. ![]() Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Me thinks you be your own worst critic, Kevin. A little too hard on yourself? Good write, though. ![]() |

Well, Dear Kevin, the only thing that you stand guilty of in my books, is writing wonderfully provocative poetry that I enjoy reading very, very much! ![]() Big, warm hug for you to start your day! Linda |
