A Poet Cries

In the world of words
Where love and pain resides
In quiet moments where feelings confide
The poet pauses and cries

Through verses and rhymes
A soul is bare
And tears write a poetic prayer
When the poet pauses and cries

The moonlight embraces a lament
In a dance of despair
Where there is no tenderness or care
When the poet pauses and cries

Words weave like threads
Through a lost soul
Seeking rhymes to make a heart whole
When the poet pauses and cries

Will the heart always break
Till all the mourning is done
Will tears stop, will a new day be won
When the poet pauses and no longer cries.
