    THE EMPTY ROOM

    THE EMPTY ROOM

    ‘Tis but a dream, I wake
    and touched.
    It was not there,
    no more than a fog upon
    the moor, or a ghost meant to
    deceive,

    Just a whisper to conceal the
    true meaning from view,
    as one would secure a
    lovers door
    while entering.

    It was no more than
    holding the
    light of day in my
    hand, or catching the
    dark of night ,
    thereby; keeping it.

    Tis but a dream that
    has vanished ,leaving
    no foot prints,
    as if
    it were never there.

    I like the repetition of the words and the meaning comes through very delicately! Very Artful!

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
