Death of a Poet
I tendered my emotions
to settle a debt long
left unpaid
only to be met by the
solid wall that is
your heart.
And I had the
audacity to be
blind-sided by the pain
or feel the sting
of rain on my
face burning
away the hopes
of any other love,
all other heartaches.
Yes tendered those emotions,
rendered those illusions
yesterday's sorrows
and tomorrow's fears.
Still, my heart is thawing
by the light
of a new day,
a new ray of hope
I caress and nurture.
Yes,
I wait for that day to arrive.
