Dear page,
my dear blank page
how many thoughts I molded for you today.

But feelings and thoughts
do slip these lips
as slumber, grabs hold,
these lids.

And so, and so
my room is cold
as heat escapes, this heart

wherefore, what for
do sights abhor
and does this tale now start...

I am a man
from a warm and heat filled land
no seasonal weather I knew

this place, this home
far, from where I roam
where history and labor part

ring bells, ring bells
iron tells its tale
of time and terror fought.

A place so dark, a place so cold
no man can hide his thought.

Shall I, shall we
hold this place in time
in a land unique,
where finality has reached its peak.

Its grave forlorn, with many story torn
a man, a mob, and crown of thorns.

Escape this place, revive disgraced
rebuilt, redeemed, reborn.

Where winter is hell
and cold fingers dwell
to wait the coming spring.

5 months, what time
by then what chimes
and what our future brings.

Close eyes, dream wise
with careful disguise
and step with joyful wings.

In ear, we hear
and mouth, so wide
fueled by what we sing.

So we, so she
who beckons me
where shall this story go?

In time, in rhyme
the shepherds pine
to lead us where'ver, we, shall go.

My friend in poetry this was excellent. I was so taken by your oft repetitive lines, such as . . . "And so, and so / my room is cold" . . . Working the words such as you did in this poem bonds the reader to you. At least it bonded me with you. Congratulations. Stand. Clap.Clap. Take a bow.
