Lost Poem

The poem is lost
it is gone forever

lost to the veil of time
lost to the vagaries of memory
lost to the inexorable past

its words will be no more
its essence dissipated
its once intense feeling forgotten

it has burned its fierce light but once
its soul as bright as the darkness that followed it
its after image a bitter testament to its passing

no more shall it be spoken
no ears shall hear its verse
no eyes shall peruse its letters

gone is the poem
gone are its whispers
gone is the inspiration that conceived it


The poem is lost
and it shall never be written again
