"Love Lost Is...the Inspiration"

@Uootem

Inspiration finds the poet in unordinary ways,
Love and love lost, the sunrise and sunset of all his days,
Harshness of reality gives the poet his words to print,
so he can articulate every little significant event.

Life with lost love is quite a practical tool,
especially to a romantic, a poet, a fool,
you can breathe life into his love torn dream,
weave each lost moment into words until... real they seem.

Close your eyes and experience what his eyes see,
where the poet yearns to set himself free,
Reach out and understand his lost love scene,
Allow his hand to write for you what his eyes have seen.

A walk with losing emotions is cold and hard,
Leaving many thistles and stinging shards,
If he is permitted these feelings to openly express,
His labor of poetry at least will be a success.

Love, especially that which is lost,
That you need not fear the emotional cost,
Is all a poet needs to know.
Then he can hold memories, and never let go.
