I NEVER WROTE A POEMA Poem by Xavier Paolo Josh Mandreza
I never wrote a Poem
That meant Music to my Life As if Cardinals sing To the Harmony they bring. I never wrote a Poem Whose Verses meant to Implode When Bombs burst on each other And caress one another. I never wrote a Poem Where Sirens also fall in love For such a lovely Croon Then dig Gem-Shells all afternoon. I never wrote a Poem During a period in my Class If my Educator takes an Oath And confiscates them both. So if I never wrote a Poem Not knowing when-how-soon Then blame me for lacking a Pen Or busting for Ink God-knows-when And the Papers I have Lost Took so much in me the Cost That I have never devoured Love Not much as being nipped by a Dove It is bad that I never wrote a Poem With so much of how I missed That I would start writing a Poem During Summer's Entire Bliss. © 2013 Xavier Paolo Josh Mandreza |
