"Frangar non flectar"

Tuesday 20 February 2007


So what if I am hunted by loneliness,

and melancholy is my ‘mere’ acquaintance.
I know, frazzled I am…
abandoned of all my persistence.

So what if I am…
mulcted of hearing ‘Honey, you can do it’.
Bereft of success,
and my way, only failures drift.

So what if these once danced eyes,
are deserted by its danseurs and this heart is congealed.
True, a shattered soul,
whose wounds shall never be healed.

So what!
For I know… I will stem the torrent,
of these serrated drops.
And you… be all ears to me.
Know one thing for sure,

I am broken, I am not deflected!

"Just a question" hon,

thanks to the reply of my queries in your last post.....

but as usual.....the critic persists - -

"Frangar non Flectar" - i am broken, not deflected....why the muddled expression that threatens to put people off...?? why damage what you mean?? at least bother to tell people so the rest of your poem makes sense or at least move them.

mulcted - "HEAVY" words can you carry it off?

congealed - passable

do you want to be booked for genocide by means of heavy vocab?

do reply...i wait anxiously..

from "just a question"
