“The Poet” is a poem about, um, a poet?
The poem is my strength
This verse is my refuge
Sweet music salves my soul
Good tunes I can’t refuse
Yet my tongue’s desert-dry
And won’t hit a sweet note
But the words never die
Melody lives on in
This broken, bleeding heart
The best poets never doubt
Their truths will make you cry
Whether it’s in laughter
Or in sudden despair
