Heart of a Poet

Mystery tears up the planks,hear,hear,its the beating of hideous heart.While i Pondered weak and weary.Like taking the beak of the raven out of my heart. From a place u will not see,comes a sound u will not hear.just like a flash of light Which understanding can not fathom,from the depths flows words which an Avenue emotion is channeled.It speaks always..... Ahoy!images simmering thru from the depths to the facade parts where its taken As means of communication like a puzzle remains unsolved,unbroken. Heart of a poet,reservoir of wisdom,easy and steady words are slaves to it. A voiceless voice it triumphs thru ages listening as wisdom echoes from Mountaintops inspiring the it, ready to bear.Soothes the weary heart and a Tool of discord it stirs up rift like two edged sword. The heart of the poet is the keeper of thoughts that never dies.

Beautifully written my dear friend, Bob. You've really a wonderful gift of writing. Love this piece and your thoughts especially in the last line. Nice to see you back and know that you've recovered from ailment. I didn't know you got sick. I was not here all the time too. My schedule is so hectic and load of work is too much. Free time today at school so just passing by. I'll be back soon. Thanks a lot again and take care always.Hugs.

It is the bane of a poets existence to not feel heard or understood. I relate to this piece.
