Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Words Won'T Let Me Down

So many days find troubles on the rise
                  and happiness is wearing a disguise
When all my colors have turned blue
                     and fear has stuck to me like glue

I always know that words won’t let me down

My pen can find a way to ease the pains 
when storm clouds fill my heart and then it rains
When thoughts are frenzied in the night
                 and nothing in the world seems right

I always know my words won’t let me down

For I can write the sun and fill the sky
             and script the moon inside a lover’s eye 
or fill the page with fantasy
                           then it becomes so real to me

When all seems lost, I have my words  
                            and words won’t let me down
