O'Yes, Braver Still Are Well-Hidden Scribes

O'Yes, Braver Still Are Well-Hidden Scribes

Only the empty darkness dared to taunt
for even the great hero had his wants
not for gold or any treasure at all
yet is not common for greatest heroes to fall
What about those brave that live not to see
the empty phoniness of both you and me
O'Yes, braver still are well-hidden scribes
Are we all members of the same old tribe.

Is hope a gem that humanity seeks
With its bloody claws, hidden ghosts that peek
From cracks in olden walls that are laid bare
ghosts longing to spit that horrific stare
Why are we afraid of the ghastly dark
Tis true, that demons dance as a mere lark.

Panagiota Romios Date: 5/27/2023 12:41:00 PM If not for you, I would have run away. You helped me discover, that poetry is no game, nor to pen about low life poetry. You And you are a true pot. Meaning true to you Anc keeping a friend and not tossing them out like trash. You write your next never showing off how Herat you are. Nor commenting only to those who comment to you. You rep,y not leave blanks. How rude is that keep bringing sanity here, zRobdrt Panagiota and Elena Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 5/29/2023 8:57:00 AM Thank you very much.
