Michael J. Falotico Poet Couplet

A Poets Paradise

A ride on a road that spills in darkness...
                              Leaves a journey through places not painted in sadness...

                                   The view from the window reflects eyes not clear...
                             A mirrored look of my own outlined in red with just one tear...

                                    The signs blend into one with a message to follow...
                              To a land of poets who write in a sea that is never shallow...

                               The pens flow across the paper and hearts are now heard...
                            All the forms scream with feeling but you seldom here a word...

If we have the same publisher (one I recommended to Cory), let me know and I have some suggestions. A beautiful poem above, my friend, but your poems are not drifting out to sea, they're going to print! Hallelujah! Love, Carolyn
