A Poet's Night

A little touch of despair
A subtle much of comfort
Time isn’t to compare
If a company is of welcome words

Words to only hear
Like a death of an angel from the sky
Is there nights to fear?
If words of a poet… is one day to die?

I give moments away
I embrace thenceforth of illusions and dreams
Of words no more need I pray
And of love no longer have I found within

If there another night to find faith?
Is there to be empty pages once more?
Is feelings untamed to behave?
Is there ever a poem to adore?

Pages unfolding the night
Words unfolding the time
Faith to belong in the hour of might
And I am once more left behind
