Poems

Poems Don't sit by river Aren't there to be picked up by poets who pass To find them on bank And I'm Not built to deliver When stepping stone love in need Of a bridge or a plank Youth The stream so much wider Thought you could slow down the flow If you drank and you drank Middle age Still unable to find her The words on the stone that you skimmed So heavy it sank The ripple Hesitation creates The unposted poem with message So clear yet so blank Love will come Not to he who just waits For mouthing from bank side seems safer Than living in tank Thoughts We understand were preserved Rotted and quickly moved on To a less cluttered bed Rust Somethoughts never deserved But treated no different to ones You kept in your head Couldn't master me a classical piece My brain's well Popular but not fighting for seats Pays the rent but never the lease Never been classed as a work of art Unlikely with the slowest of starts Good progress if he ever took part School days where you lived by your heart Where you lived by your heart And those strong and we will survive And do so at the expense of fiction and art Dissolve and notice to see As time is the evidence that we even took part Poems,don't sit by river
