listen to a voice
or a song bird
as if a sound,
can replicate in rhyme
they were my wandering open years
I was different then
now in somber mood
misspent on some past lament,
memories that dampen my eyes
while anxious winds are passing time
causing me, like withering leaves
to cling to the branch
until the bond is broke
having no more strength to grip
and I fly to my sorrow
and I roam in temptation
below, in the cold
the winter of life without redemption
hardship seems severe
so, laugh at me you clown’s
and sneer at me, King's with crowns
all forms of literary madness are ripe fruit for my dignity
a gathering of unveiled illusion
gratifying to a world without ivory gates
can the world's amusement be its own fleeting faith
:)
Lovely poem with a good flow, beautiful words and a meaning, which I can relate to, probably not in the same way. It's a touching piece :)
