When at roadside stands I see a little mag of poetry can't help mutter two words lapis lazuli Must have brought it a poet like him lover of letters dealer of dreams drunk in the elixir of emotion added a drop more to the spilling ocean! In the vastness grew in one nook bearded youth with poetic look his words tattered on the canvas a rag bringing this world one little mag! There wasn't a reader an eye to see the poet's journal sold for free he carried them bagful if could find ears willing a discerning mind! Then they shrunk the hopes high soared wings broken the bard was floored in the desert sands lay dried poetry dying unprized lapis lazuli! No question asked nor rose a frown a wasted poet was the known verdict he put his pen forever down till breathed his last a drug addict!

Lapis Lazuli
When at roadside stands I see a little mag of poetry can't help mutter two words lapis lazuli Must have brought it a poet like him lover of letters dealer of dreams drunk in the elixir of emotion added a drop more to the spilling ocean! In the vastness grew in one nook bearded youth with poetic look his words tattered on the canvas a rag bringing this world one little mag! There wasn't a reader an eye to see the poet's journal sold for free he carried them bagful if could find ears willing a discerning mind! Then they shrunk the hopes high soared wings broken the bard was floored in the desert sands lay dried poetry dying unprized lapis lazuli! No question asked nor rose a frown a wasted poet was the known verdict he put his pen forever down till breathed his last a drug addict!
he intended poems to decorate his life little mag - little magazine lapis lazuli - a decorative metamorphic rock
