Polonius Creative Piece: Petty Polonius

Polonius Creative Piece: Petty Polonius

He realized this was it.

His thoughts spoke frivolous innocence,
But contained no destination
For his boat was out of sync,
And his mind remained in delusion.
Out in the vast blue kingdom,
He envisioned only one possibility.
Blinded by a foolish conscious’ authority.

But his guidance couldn’t remain
locked inside his hollow brain,
For he swore he’d be right one day.

Flutter away,
My dear child he’d say,
But stay selfish in your love’s generosity
And soar high,
My dear child he say,
But remain greedy in virtue’s pliability


Heavy waves continued to rub against his boat,
But this sailor was unaware of the anchor lingering his throat
Until one night when the safety guard was lifted,
Unintentionally, but his spirit was no longer scripted
To follow the commands of his one-track mind
For heaven had given its signal,
And hell had displayed its sign.

And he realized,
This was it.
