Petals In The Grass
Only A Poet
Recycled feelings
Regurgitated words
Vomited down on paper
That only a poet would know
Artistic vulgarities
For the world to read
About sorrow and hurt
Crude thoughts
Indelicate meanings
Unrefined truths
That only a poet would know
Obscene notions
For people to see
About life and death
Dark desires
Raw beliefs
Cryptic messages
That only a poet would know
A depressing epitaph
For everyone to feel
About love and hate
Honest inscriptions
Gloomy ideas
Warped perceptions
That only a poet would know
Dreary abstractions
For each one to translate
About mourning and heartbreak
Disturbing visions
Grim conceptions
Beauty in pain
Well...
Maybe the lonely might know
