    The soul of a poet

    The soul of a poet

    Embraces pain, knows lost

    Understands hate the shadow of love

    Darkness is no stranger

    When the raven calls and the blood spills

    Take notes my friend

    Feel the moment

    Love the dream, now forgotten

    Until she walks in, dressed in black

    Every move fills your eye

    Those lips, taste them, you want to

    It drives you

    Desire, lust, your on fire

    Sell your soul

    Anything to possess her

    Life has no meaning only her

    Your heart she holds in the palm of her hand

    As she walks away you slowly die

    Crawl to her you dog

    Kiss her feet

    She looks down on you with those eyes

    A tear falls from her face

    She knows the pain, and in that moment

    Your souls connect, energy flows

    She sees you, and can feel the love

    God take me now, it will never be the same

    Very poetical; is circular and suggestive. The indirectness enables the poem to carry a lot of meanings though it may consist of a few words only. Nicely done. Kudos !

    Far better than the last one! You can almost do no wrong when you write about the poet. An intriguing dimensional parallel you may have drawn here between a mourning widow in black, and some mystic female entity. Also, if a couple aren't soul mates, the relationship will never be equivalent and will be based on secondaries such as finances - today's marital economies - marriage 'contracts' of convenience. Insightful write - 10!!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
