Why do you write
Asked unabashed,
As tho an answer
Other than need,
May even succeed
In shedding light…
Forces be real
I heard my reply,
Helps touch why
Tho ne’er quite sure
My words truly fly…
What do you write
She offers in spite,
My hazy taunts
Not meant be trite,
I scribble of time
That shadows mine,
To divert attention
If lot whispers of death…
Fate may deny
Time I have left,
So while I’ve breath
And feelings to best,
I’ll write with my soul
Thus wants life bold,
Without reason or why
For as long as I’ll get!
