There's An Old Soul In Dublin

by Melissa Arel



There's an old soul in Dublin -
A pint in one hand and a pen in the other.
Kissing a cigarette to its ashen grave,
He muses about his long lost muse
While scripting every thought.
The smoky rings encircle him like a halo
Giving precedence to his illuminating euphony.

Music plays in his soul, yes,
Every harmonious beat of his heart is as a drum
Consummating the irish spirit, breathing in its eternal gestation.
Four leaf clovers are found in his brooding eyes
Where his ancestral roots are intensified with passion.
Twenty years young, his body harbors an old soul
An old soul from Dublin.

Best of both worlds... an old soul and a young body. On a side note, I miss smoking. Great words with an appeal to the spirits in all of us.
