I drink; therefore I write I write, therefore I am Words that can’t be spoken Must be read with an open heart My heart bleeds words I am a poet at heart My pen writes the truth The truth comes with pain The thousands of words I’ve written Are only tears on the page A hopeless romantic Makes a good poet Love is a teacher I have failing grades Only death is permanent Life is just a temporary dream Love is a fleeting sunset I live for the night Dreams are for the dreamers Reality is for the wicked Time is for everyone No one has the time I am a heartbeat Skip to my Lou my darling The past is a place to stay The future has no vacancies The winners take the prize Second place is the first losers We are all crazy here It’s not a contest In my mind I’m a hero Time loves a hero A lost soul is a disguise Only a fool turns and runs Life waits for no one I’m already too far behind If I only had a moment I could tell you my heart Tomorrow only brings today Yesterdays are long gone Darkness balances the light Sorrow weighs the heart Youth is a fleeting dream Old age is hell Mysteries are to wonder Nature is to wander I can only speak for me A speech is for everyone Sentimental values tax the heart Letting go is the price I can only write what I feel Poetry shows my soul to all I thank my muse For making me write I thank my fellow poets for being there. I know you pour out your hearts and bare your souls. I feel your pain and I respect your words. With passion and heart; **

Sorry for the length of this one. My muse said it had to be this way.
