This Poet's words
@Uootem
This poet's words ache with such yearning
for things that were once known so clearly
but now only remembered so dearly
this poet's words ache with such yearning
an echo heard as if through time itself
the reverberation of moments once placed on a shelf
this poet's words ache with such yearning
as he attempts to write phrases so cleverly
all the time actually trying to define himself
This poet's words ache with such yearning
for there is no peace in hourglass sand anymore
for the tides of memory have come crashing against his shore
this poet's words ache with such yearning
and there is no hope in the rushing water of nearby stream
only more tears that form puddles of regret in dream
this poet's words ache with such yearning
with only another question to seek a response for
in the searching of words his heart to redeem
This poet's words ache with such yearning
As he re-lives the substantial pain of love's fatal depart
and chards of broken dreams still lacerate his heart
this poet's words ache with such yearning
as the blank page in his hand is no longer innocent
for the ink from within him has stained it
the poet's words ache with such yearning
if he could, perhaps he would give up such futile art
but he would still cherish every moment spent.
