Threads of Poetry
A tailor of words;
a weaver of muse
the wonder lies in
the threads that I use.
Oh, ribbons of speech
I spin into yarn.
I patch worded quilts;
with stitches I darn.
Each thread is a vein
of ink to yet spill.
The needle a pen
with purpose to fill.
Each word means nothing
with no more to sew.
Each thread must tangle
another to flow.
The threads of language
one word at a time...
Make fabric for thought
and poems sublime.
I pine for the need
of the perfect thread.
The one tiny seed
to grow in ones head.
I hear silent tunes
of haunting threads gone.
Those relics and runes
stolen by dawn.
I crave the embrace
of a magic thread.
One that may erase
a poets flawed dread.
In reflection of
the threads of grandeur...
All I feel is love
paradises lure.
An ode to beauty,
the tresses that braid.
The woven fine cloth
worded threads have made.
