Poet's Lament
I left my poems with lovers I knew
And felt the pain each time love's end begun
Spilled ink on pages when our love was through
Of a sad farewell when our love was done
I wrote love poems on their softest palms
Of warm hungry kisses and a poet's word
A gift to keep where memories are kept
Silenced by the years they are never heard
Lost in yesterday's sands with tears we wept
Found to be nothing more than beggar's alms
