Thoughts of a simple poetA Poem by ShaunMosleyWhat does it mean… You have a way with words? I think myself a hack writer, Toiling relentlessly to unlock or discover Some profound combination of euphemisms, metaphors, and alliterations That will somehow transcend common prose, and into your very soul inspire But is it all done in vain? My efforts are they for not? Am I wasting my life? Life is short when measured against the infinite space of time Einstein knew it was relative, but to whom or what? What is a life wasted if spent writing, where words fail to ignite a spark And set a heart on fire. And what good is a fire that does not warm the flesh, or nourish the body But to engulf you with desire. © 2013 ShaunMosley |
