The moon reminds
another day
has passed me by
and gone away.
And left some dreams
still lost in time
just waiting for
the perfect rhyme.
And faded pictures
fill my soul
of thoughts rehearsed
that make me whole.
Of melodies
so pure and sweet
restore my heart
to life complete.
Of words expressed
without disguise
to hide the pain
from others eyes.
For here I stand
while all is still
to drain my soul
against my will.
And leave my footprints
buried here
a poet's soul
a lover's tear.
For in my heart
no shadows reel
no one can question
how I feel.
And actions passed
are left behind
forgiving hearts
are not unkind.
And I can speak
in pauper's tone
and dance at heights
where gods have flown.
And still believe
in whom I see
each time the mirror
reflects me.
A poet's cry
is seldom heard
and often draped
in rhyming word.
But, this I whisper
silently
my soul's repressed
soliloquy.

Lovely poem. How well put "a poet's cry/is seldom heard/and often draped/in rhyming word" - just whispering through the written word...I really like your writing style and the fresh way you present feeling. I wish you many beautiful "whispers"!
