The Poet's Tale

The poet wrote
his life on note
his pen stroke
as his mind spoke
but ideas were unfound
to describe a life profound
and words were not enough
to give his tale a draft.

The poet tried
but often cried
for words were cold
to impart wisdom of the old
the heart willed
but the mind killed
every word and line
that endured through time.

The poet did bleed
for failure of a great deed
he indeed cried
for hesitance to try
cowardice it would seem
for his lament to be seen
yet hope was lost
and saw its great cost.

The poet lived
a life in gloom
his heart was cut by
the sword of doom
weak was his will
to control destiny’s wheel
for what was done
could not be undone.

The poet’s tale
has much to unveil
for life he chose
has need to disclose
more of his story
than that of a memory
it is a fact
that sealed his luck.

Would there be moment
after his torment?
Would there be a path
to tread after the wrath?
Would there be tomorrow
for him to borrow?
and would there be life
after his strife?
