Droped the Dream
by Keith D Allison
The darkest the poet's
seen a love
I will never know
though I have sailed the seven seas
cast my eyes on wonders
beyond belief
in the midst of the morning
my heart shall never know
the wonder of
Annabel Lee
Though I had a quest
to be a poet one day
how can one write the song
for the desert wind
has forever blown
drying the bones
that love will never be
dark skies
never born
never breathe
