Sometimes I take a little stroll
Through the minds and verses
Of others.
Mind strolling through
Vivid colours and memories,
Flowers and fantasies.
I walk across the lines, my feet tapping
To the rhythm and rhyme;
Iambic heart beats with mine
I stop by sometimes, by the meadows
With a ballad, sonnet,
Free verse or couplet.
Just reading through some poems.

Kept working
Sweating and renewing
And carefully weaving
My thoughts through the world
And I realise
That I didn't like it.
Frustrating
Venting and pounding
Failed art
Broken heart
All cleared away
Click
Delete.
And that's some space
For another tone, a face
Start afresh the next day.

The ornate rosewood clock
Chimed 12 midnight;
Tick tock tick tock...
Echoed back lavish papered walls.
Only the soft candlelight
Bore witness to the scarlet stained walls;
The anguished muffled cry
Drowned by the midnight chime.
It knew when to strike.
At midnight.
