I set out to write
The world’s best poem
A poem of unmatched flow
Words plucked and arranged
Glittering like a lady’s brow
They were right there my thoughts
Before I planned, putting them to paper
Where did they go?
These alphabets on my key board
Appear strange
They fail to form words
Why? I don’t know
I labour for rhythm and rhyme
Exasperated I give up
It happens all the time
They swirl and twirl in my mind
Chains upon chains of nucleic acid links
In moments of solitude
Or when I walk the corridors
Waiting impatiently
Beckoning
To go on paper
To form poetry and verses
The likes of which have never been before
But now I sit lost
With no ideas
No forms
Nothing
Alas the tribulations
Of life
Take their toll.
Death knell
To the world’s best poem
My dearest Shazi,
Beautiful my friend...directly from the heart and intended to go directly to the heart...I LOVE IT...but the last stanza is pessimistic and pessimism is not YOU...RIGHT?
