DarkPoetry -|- Methos -|- The Poet

The Poet

His secrets hidden deep within
Released only through his pen
Trouble, tears, times, and woe's
Friends, lovers, family, and foe's
All locked within a chamber
Set free by sheets of paper

Angels bring words of light
as devils crawl through the night
Creating chaos in his mind
for us to follow behind
All this is distinct
in his ever flowing ink.

His life woven into his phrases
critique's of hate or praises
matter little to his thought
no elation; no distraught
He writes to free his soul
not please people he doesn't know.
