THE POEM I KNEW NOTHING ABOUTA Poem by Xavier Paolo Josh Mandreza
I wouldn't want to lie
Nor fix anything around Than to write something sweet On the Poem I knew nothing about. I just resurrected from a Symptom, A Fever which kept my hands on a roll And a body which shivered just as much Took my Inspiration on hold. Perhaps it was really my Imagination When my Verses ceased to play fair Rather they took a jolly-good-ride And played with the scent of my hair. Good Lord! Within this Utter Misery I failed as a Writer incapable to write Even for just a simple, old Tune Which failed to sing for the Light. And yet, I still would not give up No Sir, I still stand by my Poetic Name I will rise once again and prove to you Readers That a Bard's Life is not just a Game. And I will sing once more for Memory I will sing with the Hope that the Lord does Heal He revives my Spirit in the very right time He burns my Anxiety for His Love to reveal. Then I'd settle for an Apple-and-Lime Juice With Vitamins and Minerals all packed-in Drinking it heartily I believe will make me Strong And keep my Wretched Hands out of Sin. When everything else is over, my Life begins at Bed Writing things too far off for the Average Mind to be Devout It was at that time that I'd finish-off my Hard-Broken Lines On the Poem I knew nothing about. © 2013 Xavier Paolo Josh Mandreza |
