A POETS LIFE
A POETS LIFE
STEPHEN DUNNE
THE LIFE OF A POET,
ALTHOUGH MOST WON’T KNOW IT,
IS ONE OF FOREVER THOUGHT
THINKING OF LINES,
A THOUSAND TIMES,
THAT NEVER SEEM TO SAY IT
FEELINGS THAT SEEM WORTHLESS,
AND ALMOST ENDLESS,
OCCUR AGAIN AND AGAIN
A TEMPTATION THAT LURES,
TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS,
PUT EACH AND EVERY WAY
AND AS THE POETS DREAM,
OTHER PEOPLE ALWAYS SEEM,
UNABLE TO SEE THIER CAUSE
BUT WHEN HE IS GONE,
HE’LL BE REMEMBERED LONG,
FOR THE WORDS HE ALWAYS SOUGHT
