Deserved rewards - Inspired by the life and poetry of Sylvia Plath

Deserved rewards

In ode to all who succumb

through wayward passages

lined of scribble notes

dripping ink’s savagery,

staining cursive patterns

in Sylvia-like depressions

 

Jarred bells ring

down lost tunnels

around each dark corner…clang

from steeples we chase

and beds we lie

draped in sadness

and shapes of

poetic happenstance

 

Tear drop vinaigrette

spiced of leftover lifetimes

drizzled on leafy desperation

bids a tired farewell

before time collects

the deserved rewards
