Oh Emily
“Oh Emily”
Lead me by example
Of your unbounded strength
Nare passed a fortnight
Your pen pressed not against the page
In the evening hours by candle light
Oh how I loathe these electronic distractions
If I could but break them all
In the wind a hundred others like a gale
Would come to fill the absence
How did you press on and make it through?
What advice for a peace-less poet to do?
For inside burns a ferrous desire to fallow the pen’s will
And walk the lonely poet’s path no more
Rather be drowning in admirers putting these tears to rest
