Desk, a silent stage,
pen & paper,
instruments of a forgotten age,
in solitude's stark shadow,
he is the final fading sage,
writing pages of poetry,
a sad souls wish to engage,
yet no audience comes
to witness the knavery,
his verses fabricated flow,
a coward seeking bravery.
The desk,
his realm of reverie or lost lament,
a poet's world,
sometimes feels like a thousand souls
encased in cold grey cement.

Another good one👏👏💙🙏Sometimes I feel like I’m putting it out into a void but I have the self reflective aspect cheering me on.
