The Poet

Poetry

Nothing fuels a poet

More than the whispers of dismay,

The falling tears of sadness,

The pain of everyday.

Nothing fuels a poet

More than wings that cannot fly,

A love that did not last,

Or eyes that never dry

Nothing stops the ink

Leaking from the pen

Not the thumb that’s aching

Not the calls to come to bed

You cannot save poets

Whose hands were built to write

You can only watch grimly

And hope their works turn bright.
