The touch of a poem On my ears is so nice It holds me it’s captive Truly my vice It’s rhythm It’s cadence Reeling me in Blot out the present And show me what has been They talk of lost love Long ago gone They warn me to the next I’ll again be a pawn They have no voice For not spoken Their penned They leave me quite spellbound From beginning to end This is my form This is my grace It is what I call fun It must be my place I love to linger for many an hour And when I get up What has bloomed but a flower Another creation From somewhere out there Just how it came here I don’t really care I just enjoy looking At all the beauty inside But it was always here So where did it hide Why couldn’t I see it If it came from my passed If I don’t write it down Why will it not last
