others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

Around

Loneliness surrounds me
In loneliness I breathe


It is painted on my walls
and tiled on my floor
It flows from the taps
and it grows on the trees

It breeds around me
It is all I see
It is all I feel

It walks on the roads
and it flies in the skies

With every second on the clock
loneliness ticks on...
