Quoth Theraven Poet Rhyme

So It Goes

So it goes

Easy to pen poetry in the light of day
much more for the eye to see 
washed away her shadow of night
anyway, 

yeah..,
try and explain it to my heart 
that longs for you.. 
wills it to..
go dark.

Easy to land long strokes
smooth movement in pen's pace
knows it's almost time
to trace fine lines of a face

I have to hold it in 
still too bright, 
stretch my neck 
feelin onset
of your twilight..

So easy writing by candle's glow
from one who knows
how to separate
                      thorn from rose.

So it goes

Sara Kendrick February 23, 2022 at 3:59 AM I can feel the emotion come through this one. I wonder if she was a thorn or a rose or a mixture. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Harry Horsman February 5, 2022 at 10:53 PM The darkest of night that hides a love, a star, the moon, yet strong enough to separate the thorn the rose. With such depth is how i read this, Richard.
