Unraveling Rhyme


 

The rhyming and the not,

as if I had forgot,

the words of many years,

embedded in my tears.

 

Days of youth have passed.

The die has long been cast.

Pieces of my life

still wading through the strife.

 

The time has come and gone.

I waited far too long.

My words have all gone stale,

now lost beyond the pale.

 

The fire that once burned,

has long ago been spurned.

My passions all I gave,

lie cold beyond the grave.
