Backlogged (Archetypes Jungian) Poem by Steven Drake

Backlogged (Archetypes Jungian)

Rating: 3.5


Backlogged. Bad luck. Curses. Marital schemes.
Far gone conclusions in rivers running deep.
What self-esteem? Writing severely wounded.
Desperate hands. Toll bridges. Flaming
Infernos. Bleeding. Hand struck by the glass.
Inordinate excuses flying off borderlines.
Nothing neat in stolen packages. Drained.
Ignorance. Great duress. False witnesses.
Charming whom that takes my breath away.
No stable consideration. Length of beauty
Adheres to nothing sacred. Fallen secular beliefs.
Pandemonium. Slipshod practices.
Wild in the woods. Religion taken falsely.
Fallow lands. Beat down into oblivion's oppression.
No divining self-worth. Faith in what's next to come.
Shadows of darkness. Valleys of death‘s despondency.
Stretched from childhood to man. No guts.
No glory in crimson blood.

Hitting the pavement. Earth shattering affects.
Hallways that echo pretense. Suspicion.
The world stage in verses for dire respect.
Character falls to the belligerent.
Testing resolve. Temptations. Sick, sordid
Motives in disguised endgames.
Terror in midst of felonious affairs.
'Round robin in till of the soil's wickedness.
Confessions fallen to deaf ears. Eyes burning.
Stealth's recall of impertinent wealth.
Steam rolling times of pilfered property.
Delving into remembrance of no one there.
Fighting fear. Absconded by greedy tongues.
Refusing to take hemlock, where reason abides.
Years gone by in ruthless realms.
Off  the edge of vertigo.
Claustrophobic.

Ordained collateral. Deep dark dangerous stealth.
Evidence stolen wealth. Rife for taking shameful
Existence. Hell. Praying for resplendent dreams.
Fortuitously profound. Nothing sacred. Hearts
Out of the clouds. Fighting evil. Nightmares.
Demons. Sleep walking crowds.
Speech impediments. Disparagement.
Lyrical words a thousand fold.
Sold off the edge of promised lands.
Desert islands fall to impervious minds.
Test of sole ability. Terror of treacherous hands.
Graveyards where grim reapers pretend.
Suspended in wayward trends. Historical.
To whom that bleeds off the edge.
Prolific. Transcending elements.
Event horizons. Breach of contracts.
Consortium. Whistles blowing up travail.
Identity's punishing blows. Plundered.
Wishes left in nameless throes.
Infamous. Glass houses. Stones thrown.
Eternity's substance of archetypes Jungian.
