Note: Taken from one of my private poetry journals. Thought this was one that I'd never share openly but my muse urged me to do so this morn..

Once I Found, Once I Woke, Once Love Came

Once I Found, Once I Woke, Once Love Came

Once I found, that darken cave to hide in
Having no true friends to then confide in
I sank each rowboat I took a ride in
Embraced scenes of glory I took pride in 
Created dream realms that I then died in

Once I woke, I found sweet clouds to walk on
In that bliss, found dear subjects to talk on
Enter tirades that my mind could squawk on
Became a fool that they put their mock on
A broken sidewalk no child put chalk on.

Once love came, I grabbed its heart to hold to
Soon begged its soft hands, to be sold to
Sought sweet times, deeper soul to be told to
Conquer enemies, others be bold to
Find havens that could quickly be rode to.

Emile Pinet August 13, 2018 at 11:28 AM This poetic trip though your memories is, thought provoking, descriptive, and creative all rolled up into a beautiful poem. Your emotions and youthful energy wrap themselves around your words and we are left wanting more. Your use of simple words and ideas are easy to digest and strike a common cord of familiarity. You have painted a picture with words that tantalize, tease and catapult the reader into a state of compassion and understanding as we experience your passion and pain. Emile.

Dale Gregory Cozart August 11, 2018 at 9:34 AM Is this what's called polysyllabic rhyming? I think it's very clever. Robert Lindley September 3, 2018 at 10:10 AM Thank you my friend.. So very inspiring to receive your very kind comment on this poem.
