verses lost and found
these words
verses on the ground
I pick them up
even though most days I'm down
cos' they cheer me up
these words
are all I got lately
these words
and the friends I share 'em with
- the pith, the core of my existence
that is;
these words plus all of you
equals to
the sum of the love
I keep safe
for you
keep safe
in these sentence cases
and stored away in the quiet spaces
of the heart
only to be opened up
in brief moments of truth
little portholes by which I can escape
this occupational route
escaping down the burrows of poems
away from the furrowed brows and doldrums
of the nine to five
escape and feel alive, again
this is the freedom I find
at the end of my pen
for one sweet moment a day
when the wind whispers to me and my ear bends
to catch the words I find
before I become lost again
lost, searching to give meaning
lost and wandering around
among all these verses on the ground.
