The death of a Poet
Turn away,
don't look back.
Even though no one believes you,
go on
Tear those pages
break free
measurements and rhymes are nothing
throw it
hurled it into fire
let it come naturally
like day and night
like honey from bees
like a man loves a woman
Turn away,
don't look back
Pity from a cruel world - you don't need it
let it flow
through the corners of your wandering mind
down to your mouth.
You have a gift
that's been shared to many
Your words live by people's thought
to thee, words are treasure
played, made,
passed and created
played for the melody of love
made with a heart of gold
passed to the next generation
and created an impact
coz to thee, words are treasure
Turn away,
don't look back
some people live and die,
with their music still unsung
You catalyzed the world
by your thoughts
Too much has been played and sang
by people still lost
coz they kept themselves in a box
and signed it
with their names
They could be someone, somebody
but they chose to live and die,
with their music still unsung.
Turn away,
don't look back
Loneliness isn't a feeling for you - after all
just a word
You have your world
inside your pocket
and whenever you like to retrace the past,
just open that little world you created -
re-read it
nostalgia feels
upon reading the lines you've written
You've been wandering this land for so long
now,
it's time to go
Turn away,
don't look back
Go run through the fields
to the evers forest
where you can remove your mask
and be a free poet
the voices inside your mind - now
you can see them
portrayed on stage.
Listen,
your mind's asking
"are you ready now?"
painting those words
as you try to close your eyes
to see where the ever's forest is
Now you've turn away
left without tracks
Didn't even look back
to the days gone by
wandered around
seen so much
learned a lot
writing - "poem is what keeps me alive"
write things he thinks and see
verses of life,people have - had
or somehow,
life that people made
Life - a never ending verse
known or not
what will your verse be?
"I'm ready to go"
Smiled at the world
the one the poet will leave behind
leaving no tracks
but legacy
of a wanderer called poet
took a sip of the last drop of champagne
and dream of a place
where his words
are fed to the souls
live by those who believes.
