Vagrant Heart. A poem.

Posted bystevestillstandingPosted inLove, Mental Health, Poetry, WritingTags:, , , , , , , ,

And now every time I pass by you,
I remember when you were my muse.
My inspiration, a living rhyme
to hang my aching heart, in time.

          (I could and did, ‘til I was blue,
          write many volumes, just for you.
          But you never read and never knew,
          enigmas all and yet so full.)

Words flowed like the torrential rain,
now they flow right down the drain,
the endless drain out to the sea,
where tender mercies float and dream.
I’ll never know if you ever wondered,
guessed, assumed, or maybe stumbled,
upon the musings of my heart
disguised as metaphor in part.
I guess I was the greatest fool
for thinking you could love me, too.
I guess my words were wasted art,
the rantings of a vagrant heart.

I write a lot of poems, some from my head, some from my heart. Many don’t appear on this website. For more of my poetry, check out The All or the Nothing, my first e-book, available at most online book sellers.

I’m a writer who loves tabletop role playing games, poetry and (you guessed it) writing. Occasionally I have something to say...

      1. I meant, writing for/about someone who will never read the words or appreciate them for what they are. It’s like making these beautiful works of art (pearls) and throwing them out to the pigs (the one for whom the art was made for) to trample underfoot. Thing is, they’re still beautiful pearls, even covered in the pig shit.
