An old poet lived in a dusty room Cold, quiet, dark and gloom In his mind, to heaven he flew away Promising himself to return one day Under an olive tree he embraces his wife As if it was the first time of his life Smiling as his boys call him from afar No more wondering where they are Holding on to breath and regardless of pain He forced himself to go back down again Climbing back to reality with a rope Wishing for one last teardrop of hope Half way down tired of his quest Decides it is time to finally rest A lonely poet lived in a lonely room Little did they know it was merely a tomb

A Poet
An old poet lived in a dusty room Cold, quiet, dark and gloom In his mind, to heaven he flew away Promising himself to return one day Under an olive tree he embraces his wife As if it was the first time of his life Smiling as his boys call him from afar No more wondering where they are Holding on to breath and regardless of pain He forced himself to go back down again Climbing back to reality with a rope Wishing for one last teardrop of hope Half way down tired of his quest Decides it is time to finally rest A lonely poet lived in a lonely room Little did they know it was merely a tomb
An old poet died today.
