PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was a poet once

but what am I now?

That is a good question

and I endeavor

to find an answer

the grandiloquence of language

has dissipated

and the elixir of magic

has gone sour

Great visions are lost

and I barely shed a tear

as the tragedy

too callous I have become

all thru the years

I was a poet once

but somehow lost my way

to find myself here now

in this state of decay

uncertain of anything
