The Poet

by HansRik   Feb 27, 2006


The Poet

The poet's heart, by loneliness consumed,
Does long to write the pains, forlorn,
Lest th'soul be glaringly entombed-
Ruined, phantoms, so utterly torn.

The poet's soul, by nature's joys absorbed,
Has sought t'immortalise those miracles
In fragile words and sensuous lives-
Lest memories forgotten be.

But hark! By love and fantasies destroyed,
The poet's heart has no remedy:
Instead remains an empty void,
Entrenched so solidly by a malady.

Then, the Glory's soon concealed by Time's coarse sands.

    I loved it, but the last line, though a very unique thought, somehow didn't fit in with the rest of the poem. Maybe you should write another poem on the last line itself.
