Poem


Words never written, never tell tales.
Over time, we as poets, must traverse thorn trails.
Our character, must stain, to rein upon parchment.
Stringing chords, fine tuned, striking one's existence.

Paths that fade away, be coffin  headstone - stiff stands.
Sand abration, become weather ring beach words on tides.
Precision imprints, scrawl adhesive  - precise till to silken canvas
Alight reseding moisture that bakes pristine sand dunes - dry mouth.

Alas yest whirling storms, dusk encroach, pulling away messages
Where amidst high tides, poems are washed away, on moon beams
That our time as poets, be fleeting minutes of minute rhyme
To RIP apart, worn pieces, alight tattered memories - nevermore.

They are saying that, once posted on the Internet, a poem like this will always be there. So as our bodies whither, and we no longer can write or speak them, dry up and wafe away, those words out there in cyberspace may come back again to enchant, educate, or enlighten in another day.

A true poem wrought from the depths of heart-felt emotion. May your days be brighter.

Sorry to hear you've been struggling David. Perhaps the most poetical thing in the world is not being sick. Those times when our mortality stares us in the face are sobering to say the least. Enjoyed your thoughts. Strong images. All the best. R
