You Are


You are the tale that never was
Not once upon a time
A memoir slash who-done-it
Where for once nobody died

You are the song that never played
That still remains the same
Where music is the coursing wind
And chorus, is the pain

You are the book nobody wrote
On pages never turned
With phrases that nobody read
And lessons never learned

You are the movie no one saw
That isn’t hard to find
Shining up against the wall
In back of every mind

You are the words no one has said
That speak of hope and doubt
Contentedness and sorrow
Altogether and without

You are the thought no one has had
Or yet can not describe
You are the spirit of the pen
The soul of every scribe

You are the verse no one has tried
That always break a heart
That dreams about an ending
That nobody dares to start

You are the poem that never was
That holds and starts to squeeze
Until the tears, begin to flow
Your name, is Poetry

Richy~
How sad to think
that to not pour our ink
could be so very sad ...
In each treasured line of poetry
shared with others on this day
comes the content of knowing
a poet has spilled their ink
so that their thoughts are growing~

I applaud your penning dear poet~
Nice to see you~

nice ending...I like this phrase best:
"On pages never turned
With phrases that nobody read
And lessons never learned" very lyrical
