Listen to My Rhyme
Who am I but a rhyme, unwritten,
a blacksmith of words,
pounding out each and every phrase
into an aesthetic form, unseen,
my labor of love, my everything,
seeking thoughts sublime
as I follow my pen into realms divine,
just to know I can.
And what joy exists,
within my very fingertips,
to exact my thoughts in such ways
that souls in pensive gaze take note,
and all I ever want is to speak,
to embellish life to reveal its divine perfection,
and yield to my human frailties,
just to know how much I need to learn.
Writers are innovators,
poets are artists, painting in hues unknown,
to uplift the sight and knowing
of every souls who owns a heart,
and that may connect with mine,
to truly know what beauty is,
and to open a mind to other kingdoms,
life in every form within time.
Words, hard fought,
that weighed so heavily,
that bent a back to almost breaking,
drew tears from sorrow in a flood
and taught a soul so completely,
that is what I choose to write,
to find a heart to hear my songs,
and to know we are not alone.

Poets are never alone, for down through the ages their words find hearts to hear their songs, just as yours do, dear poet. I love your rhyme, Tony. Marvelous!
