[hometext] => How many of you poets have felt like this? Sometimes writing is the only thing that keeps our sanity above the boundless limits of ‘normal’. This was a teenager’s (me, many years ago) plea for something more than dolly magazines and romance novels.
[bodytext] => THE POET'S LAMENT Once as I lay in a dream far away, I floated on petals of blue. I awoke with a frown, and wrote it all down. On paper my dreams become true. I sat and I thought of the many I'd caught As they fell to the page from the pen. My life, so it seems, is lived only in dreams, The realness is empty again. I cannot ignore the fate that's in store For me as I go through the stages. Forever lonely, and love that's found only In writing on these empty pages. Maybe in time I will find one who's mine, And then love may sow its seed. But from now until then, I'll put it in pen For more fortunate people to read.
