A Poet Uncovered

lights grow fast
     hard times bring
      gentle verse
murmured with a smile
a devotee of courage
unafraid
      to reminesce
      to charm
in an innovative
                      form
yes
with an agony of effort
quite so
     an inner change
     a compulsion
        ethereal
an earthbound
               spirit
softened
     in an
          antique outline
discrepancies...yes
      yet measured
      to realise this dream
in beautys bloom
     so delphinium blue
insubstanial in demeanour
yet oh so true
      once faded
      scattered
      still full of style
perceptive emotions lay confused
        restless melting
clearly visible on the brow
age
 in  a self portrait
   words
     from yesteryear
