Keeper Of The Rhyme
By Paul Wilson


If you thought
all you gave
was enough
too last me a lifetime

Why do I feel
so
          empty

Fill me
with your
          thoughts

Fill my heart
with words and dreams
yet to be
           imagined

Break the restraints
that hinder
limits
          of the mind

Give to me secrets
from masters
of the soul
          and quill

Touch my soul
( lightning )
from
          lavender skies

Trust me
with your
words
          Keeper Of The Rhyme

~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~

What a beautiful poem, Paul.
I enjoyed the style you wrote it in, too.
Hugs,

A call to divinity!

absolutely lovely Paulie

and I felt a bit hushed as I read

as though I'd overheard prayer.

Karen...Maybe I was praying a little bit, hoping that I could be given the talent to write like so many wonderful poets here at PIP, YOU included.

Anyhow I'm still trying that free verse thing every now and then.I like it...

Thanks so much for reading and your prayerful reply which is sort of mysterious because I first posted this in Spiritual by mistake, or maybe it wasen't a mistake at all, just some wierd circumstances...Paul

Trust me
with your
words

And even when
we don't rhyme?

We still hope that the Keeper
knows
where the trust
is honored.

Well Done, Paul...

it is, indeed, a Keeper.

I've known for a long time now, that words come when they're ready...so the keeper of the rhymes begats just the right amount of words...knowing when we're ready...(wink)

thank you Paul for such a lovely poem and thoughts

LeeJ...You are so right the words come when they are ready. Sometimes I'm not ready for them and they get lost in the shuffle but I know if they were meant too be written by me they will hang around long enough for me too remember them.

Thanks so much for taking time too read and for your understanding reply...Paul
