There is a Poet

There is a Poet

A Poem by .:Arianna:.

There is a poet
who thinks no one's watching
when he goes to a corner
inside his own mind

He feeds on his reveries,
gets drunk on his nightmares,
he is convinced
he's the last of his kind

And the same carmine ink
that he dips his sharp pen in
now escapes from the corner
of his very last line

There's only one question
running loose in his mindscape:
'Am I as much yours
as you are mine ?' 

The question may echo
unanswered for hours
He thinks that the silence
betrays he's alone

Yet she's in the crinkles
of his unsent letters,
scratching the surface
to make herself known

She's in the wine glass
that he proclaimed sacred
waiting at the bottom
 to be consumed


All of these years
they've been lonesome together
not knowing that their loves
could once have bloomed

That is poetry and - more than exciting can near hear your words breathing, pulsating! Your visual words, the meter. the imagination - is incredibly fine, never a word out of place. Yes, like it or not, you have a fan, Arianna. I will return!

Poets, writers, painters and musicians. A bit crazy. I believe each different. I am more Salinger then Hemingway. I love to write, but I keep my face hidden. Powerful and wonderful use of words and thoughts Arianna.
