Poem: Season left unattended
A time to think of those that didn''t arrive
Never is forever
Unless the most famous in their endeavor
Poets shattered rhyme of life
Clouded by the disease of mind
Puzzled by his own noise
Always trying to untie the knot
Love is the mortar that leaves a trace on the page
From just an island of a man
With the seasons the shoreline shrinks
Baffled by the storms of doubt
Knowing my own nonexistence
Paper crinkled like ageing skin
Faded yellow like the L.A. sun
Everything always becoming
Once thought myself the orchestrate
Ricochetting in a crowded space
Leaving a fading line
Worlds debut
Loved the cast
Ageing everything fades to black
Surrealistic mind
I don''t know a me
Just the human animal
Capable of the uncontrollable
Living in the finite...
