Lovelorn Poet in St. Louis, MO: You Are The Ghost Of Light

Frozen Stones by CJ Oliver

Days not seized
Hours frivolously spent
Let the dust settle on
this statue of a man

Posing
Acting out an action
never to achieve momentum
failure
or success

Encased in a limbo
chisled from granite doubt
marblized fear

Frozen in the knowledge
that every star that shines
is a ghost

Days not seized
Posing
Encased in a limbo
Frozen in the knowledge

Hours frivolously spent
Acting out an action
chisled from granite doubt
that every star that shines

Let the dust settle on
never to achieve momentum
marblized fear
is a ghost

this statue of a man
failure
or success
