Invincible by michaelcahill
Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry



dazzling light blinds for the chosen moment
                throwing you off stride
                                I catch you as though
                you were going to fall although
                                                I know you were not
 
I express my sorrow for
                whatever makes you sorry
                                I condemn and curse those
                that caused a furrowed brow and
                                                down-turned lip
 
I have spent a long time, mirror bound, angle obsessed, profile processing
tilting my head on a lovability axis, neck sore, (but on board) anticipating--
                                                                                      a possible kiss
 
                color wheels and spoken spiels all considered, strike a pose
                                                                                        (powder nose)
 
hired thug
blank slug
hero smug
damsel snug
like a……never mind
 
I am Invincible!
