You The Poet, I The Pen

If you were but a poet
And I were but your pen
Enjoined in weaving tapestries
Please tell me, now, what then
Could we write our destiny
The poet and the pen
Embellish all our fantasies
Find love time and again

Would we sail the seven seas
To find the pirates lair
Or ride upon the noblest steeds
Pluck stars out of the air
Could we fathom ocean’s depths
Explore the coral reefs
Climb Tibetan mountain peaks
Hold firm in our beliefs

Or simply with the sands of time
Would all my ink run dry
Would you release me from your hands
Put down your head and sigh
Would we close our chapter
Would all our dreams be lost
Would all the pages then go blank
As white as winter’s frost

Would we simply be no more
The poet or the pen
Would your muse then lose her voice
To never sing again
But if we wrote our ending
Seems despite the best laid schemes
We’d  somehow find each other
If only in our dreams

I'm sending via express, some mail
a vast box that holds the key
For a wealth of ink to fill your pen,
So you may write your poetry...



Your well will never run dry...
and I will be ever appreciative!

With such a talent your dreams will never end
your pen will never run dry
A gift too share with all
till there are no more stars in the sky

Enjoyed...Paul

Ruthie m'friend, you hide for so long then out of the woodwork sneaks this type of a gem.  Through reading this that picture I have of you on the ferry comes to mind, so pensive.  Miss you and sending lots of wonderful thoughts your way.

Simply lovely, the flow is devine.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
