A Poet's Heart

A Poet’s Heart

A poet’s heart inscribes each word;

Deep within their yearning souls.

Nothing can erase such etchings;

Cherished surely, as ancient scrolls.

Is that what creates a poet

Incisions of love and pain?

The romance of melancholy;

The moon’s blue hue and waltzing rain.

A muse born of a broken heart;

Chides with promises of love.

Lends a pen to write the words;

Until the soul has hurt enough.
