It seems I’ve used up all my words... these so called tools of mine To allow you exploration deep inside my heart, within my mind These pages lie in solitude, in darkened boxes... left behind Possibly to be discovered, senescent.... and there unsigned Someday perhaps, some years from now my words are found... austere Their meanings undefined, and so sadly... feelings disappear Can words on paper hold, what even now seems clouded... so unclear? The thoughts of one as me, who only sought... to leave some comfort here
These pages now have seen another dark December… come and gone And so another year has passed, to leave my words... therein withdrawn Condemned to sad obscurity, endless evening... endless dawn To lie there unobserved, another tired... ragged vagabond
They fill these dusty passe drawers, my pages disregarded...lost All of what I’ve written, so much time and effort... God the cost The nights spent lost in cold regret, for the frozen lines... that I have crossed I watch as now, upon my heart there lies a cutting... bitter frost The emptiness of thoughts unread, to fade... throughout the ages Ravaged by the hands of time, yellowed... torn and tattered edges Please believe me when I say, It’s cost me sorrows cruel wages These unseen words of mine, that lie dead and silent on… The Pages.
