I can't write poems
Like the young girls do.
Filled with dreams of romance.
And love that is true.
I am just older now.
I've seen too much of life.
Some of it wonderous.
Other times filled with strife.
I write to tell a story.
Sometimes with a dash of rhyme
Often, they sit uncompleted.
Waiting for a future time.
Sometimes the words pour out.
Fill the paper with heartfelt pain.
Much too sensitive and personal
To have others wonder if I'm sane.
Tonight, I am a bit melancholy.
Pondering that future date.
Wondering what I'll find.
Beyond the Western Gate.
