A Lone Masked Jagged Juggernaut Poem by Doris Cornago

A Lone Masked Jagged Juggernaut

Rating: 4.6


Duckling in a small pool, you came on a whirlpool
Of a storm and tried to to see how another world
Fits your temperament, blazing unending duels
Words crossed, muggle, laughing most times
Silliness, compensation for lack of interest
Scope the battlefield, injured, outwitted
Back into dark hole, suddenly realized
Words tear and mend us, anger cuts
Understanding clothes nakedness
In time, blooms out of the ooze
Blood mixed in pungent brine
Grimy after a fray, we meet
At water's edge, bathing
In refreshing coolness
Easing sordidness
Scared of your
Utter silence
Personal
Defeats
Glitter like
Sharp sword
By a lone masked
Jagged juggernaut
Donkeys caught in your
Slay spree, wasted wisdom
Lack of forgiveness, spent all
Packing my bags, yet stopped in
Recall, you're the only one who has
Truly loved me with unswerving loyalty
Treated me with respect even when in my
Circumspect, watched me with keen eyes as
A panther will watch a potential prey, dark eyes
Glinting, not committing to anything but relying on
Logic, sorting evidences as facts and fiction, omission
Discounted as weakness, telling you all what's the score
Separation prohibited, soon reminded by chapters in books

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Two people trying to fit in a relationship are in a constant struggle like a duckling and a baby panther trying to swim together in a very small pool. Not all circumstances are the same but the situation is similar for two wild creatures in a pond having unbridled fun.

Very peculiar poem in the shape of an hourglass~ :) Like a duckling and a baby panther trying to swim together, the tension can be felt there in the reading.

Hi Perdita. Indeed, they are. The panther was trying to be friends but the duckling would have none of it - the usual start of a relationship between mismatched personalities. :)
