Maintenance

keeping up with everything u have, connections u have made, everything

Constantly 

Trying to keep up

Collecting 

Materials

Along the way

Time decays 

In the mind

Gathering dust 

Over 

Accumulation

Once cherished

Breaking down

Dormant rust

Slow burns

To ash

Unless 

Constantly 

Dusted off

Used

In its purpose

Suffering the loss

To neglect 

Possibilities 

Of never being 

Restored

[John the Baptist]

This one is quite interesting, not least so because of the minimalist but meaningful presentation. Each verse comes across in the way a thought does in the mind. Rather than being complete sentences, we get only the sense of what the thought means. After reading the poem a few times and letting possible meanings present themselves, an outlook is discernible. The speaker seems to be somewhat frustrated by the accumulation of things in his life. There are apparently too many to allow him to properly utilize all of them. Some have even become dilapidated through neglect. All in all, a good comment on our consumer society.

Thank you so much for the review, I really appreciate them. I find that I some times write out in complete thoughts and break them down to a minimalist view, and sometimes I start off writing that way and make out complete thoughts. I often write when I am frustrated it's what fuels me to get the thoughts out of my head into something constructive, it truly is a great therapy for me and I love to see it connect with others
