Only Words

Just for today I write short lines To focus say Dawn will come soon New light sparks fine To hide old moon I wander here I wonder why I feel sad fear Late sojourn brings A weary sigh Watch fate now fling Here beyond time I feel strange grief Aglow with rhymes Here beyond space All seems but brief Soul wears no face In this strange place No motifs stand None wears a face Faceless I face A barren land Obscure this trace Feel upon feel Words make poetry Touch now reveals Thought follows thought Surge finds poesy In simple lot Why all this strife? Here madness hurls Why lives a life Who lives the dream? Here in this swirl Who fits the theme Equate and add Do sums add up? Equate the fad Address the vain Pride fills big cup Address the gain Words come to mind Words scream unheard Word fail to find Line after line Gliding like birds Lines that feel blind Only words then Rhyme after rhyme Reason primes scan Only words here In space and time Greet love sincere Leon Enriquez 15 July 2014 Singapore
