The choices we make (Free verse) by darby pyn
A fire deep inside wonât let me lament.
inoculate the soars with rhetorical cement.
born for breeding and dying young
like my father and like his son.
my carnal vices hold no sect
Iâm secular form that intellect
it held me down in itâs archaic fist.
and kept me blind below the mist
of forgery with a smile. guilty without
a trial. in my Shiva I mourned my
youth with callow ignorance I
stayed aloof. promiscuous with
every shot I laid her down
above my cot and lose
myself below the belt
and watch her inhibitions
melt and for a moment we
were one. I promised her the moon
and sun. but in the morning I just stood
still watching her cry by the doorway sill
and as the door closed behind her back I suffered my first
heart attack.
that day I knew I had no soul
and blamed it on no self-control.
years would pass and the taste would
sting with every memory the past would
bring.
till I was left alone to cower
in the corner of my judgment hour
