Letters To A Young Poet

A light

March 9, 1996 — Filed under: mypoems

A light, a light post A bedside lamp that keeps a light on the paper into dusk A story teller with whip scares and childhood memories It all lays beneath the darkest of cloud cover Beneath a hawks eye in search of… Do the lights shine through the story tellers window Highlighting white lines on his desk, mimicking the ones on his back He is so great, a delightful sole Kind and trustworthy to the extent of lonely tomorrows Of sorrows deserved and prayed for His scars remain only as comfort A warm feeling that reminds him of other times Of past comfort, past relationships with past loves His elegance and wit is part of his sole But his blame lays on all that surrounds Causing guilt, raising doubt in others morals Raising insanity with every glance. Forced goodness that flows as a pen on newly pressed paper.
