The Desperate Cry

They say it is a crime To write a poem that rhymes I was told it was waste of time They treated me as a slime Made me bearer of blame I stood in the hall of shame And soon I gave up my claim To prevent my heart from going up in flames But alas without poetry I am no more Though my hands are sore My thought pours, my heart roars The barrier I built around myself tore When heaven opens it’s door Not for me but to that warm heart of yours To explore,deep inside your heart’s core
