A Poet's Heart

Published on 20 December 2014 at 18:57

It is truly sad to say,

that a poet’s beautiful heart

is always in utter pain,

as he masters his divine art

until the end of his days.

As he passionately bleeds

word after precious word,

and gracefully sings

like a delicate songbird.

His pain still grows

with each waking day,

and every dreadful night

with dwindling hope

that the pain will fade away.

But it is not the poet’s choice

as he takes on this risky endeavor,

creating such beauty, 

pure elegance,

sealing his undying heart away, 

in the midst of forever.

A poet’s heart,

that is what I have,

as I turn my sorrows into art

Inventing beautiful memories—

echoes that will forever last,

for all the world to see.
