A Poem about Poetry...
Some thoughts around writing.
When I met you first
When I met you first To love you was my thirst I love in such a way That none has a word to say But see the greatest lover on his way To meet his partner in the bay Birds fly high and days roll by But I stand here dusk and dawn
