Doubt

Doubt This poets night is masked in lies The day that comes my sight despise Awake to dream to write to scheme The words I clean refine and preen Forlorn the days when poets fight A pen like light revealed the night Blunt yet sharp both bright and dark The art alive so real so stark My back now bent my head now bald This pen now dull the writing scrawled Is it empty thoughts that fill these lines Have we lost our muse our wits our spines
