Death To Rhyme

Where are all the rhyming poems

A sentence of imprisonment inside a world 
of unmarked tombs 

inside the womb 
that echoes out 
I think that I shall never see 
a poem as lovely as a tree...

The tree has lost its eyes 
Now shadow shaped silhouettes
A posthumous disguise

Stretching out at moments 
I am unprepared to hear
Instead of gliding through 
to warmly fill my ears

With vision plucked 
and footsteps stuck 
Will I ever dance again?
Without the muse, 
can the artist 
simply just pretend? 

miles to go before I sleep...
No easy wind 
and downy flake
For-telling of a 
Whispered 
carefully etched mistake

My mind once graced 
with pleasured rhyme
each step I can retrace

A staggered life 
to a wandering horse 
To search the endless trails 
For his sole lost rider 
what a harrowing
and sad travail !
