Poet’s Night

The moon had come about

With my darling, I set out

To the nearest coffee shop

Overwhelmed by the crowd

 

Wasn’t sure I heard it right

A gathering of clever minds

The waiter beckoned at us

This was truly Poet’s Night

 

Come, come take a seat

Take a pamphlet and read

The artist will be out soon

Have something to eat

 

A quick gander and I knew

That love was on the menu

Typical, yet an audience favourite

Hopeful his take might be new

 

The young lad came out

Dashing, with a witty frown

And that famous half smile

To narrate the tale out loud

 

I followed the rainbow

There was no pot of gold

Just an overdue parking ticket

Left on the side of the road

 

How had I ventured here

So lonely, yet without fear

Why did logic elude me

Was I a victim of my peers

 

Had I succumbed to it

That feeling gone amiss

The tricky vixen of desire

Hath left me naked of bliss

 

Why do I struggle then

To control this pretence

That I am alright

In this, there is no sense

 

And it dawned, so bright

To my starry, starry eyes

Full of silent tears

That love is always blind

 

There is no happy ending

Just a quest, forever searching

A temporary fix for a heart

Always in need of mending.
