THE ROVING POET'S PEN

A poet's pen is awesome.

it never sleeps...

It goes to bed hungry anxiously

ready to wake up and write again...

Wants only to make its thirst quenched when it never can

it holds on to the tomorrows and cannot forget the past.

Writes with love and pain and sometimes hatred

to satisfy the hurt that life can cause~ AND LAST...

Hold that Poet's pen

hold it to your heart

to sing its praises

that cannot take a flight

sings of many sorrows

never to see the light of day

its buried in many hearts

the prisons of come what may...

The roving poet

sings of yesterday

crying of tomorrows

which will never come

the Poet's pen never rests

always cries tears to hold it on.

THESE BOOKS

These books line the walls of time

Old and outdated but strong in their revenue

Stacks upon stacks of multiple words.

Precious words so strong

Scary words that prolong

Speaking to empty hearts

Prying into starlight eyes

Single handedly strokes our egos

Books taken unto the graves of many

Or dashes the strings of time

The feel or smell of long ago

Makes this mind explore

To take time not to let go

Of our precious books

That can or cannot restore the pages of time.

THE OLD TYPEWRITER

It was a typewriter that got me started

Years of hitting those keystrokes

A bloody time it has been

Sometimes pleasure, sometimes pain

How rich and rewarding

Or down right disgust

At words that would or would not form.

It took me years to gather my thoughts

It would take me years to write what happened

But as years passed I forgave the ones

That hurt my younger self

That was the only way I could live

Now its keyboard on my laptop

Now its tears that dissipated

Now its smiles of long ago

Coming to terms with the past

Coming to terms with love..

God guides my keystrokes

God guards my heart

The Lord Jesus blesses my soul.

The typewriter is an old relic

But a great memory

Of perfect form of yesteryears ...
