The heartbeat
Of teenage years
Held back the poet
In dreaming fears
The scribbled notes
On wallpapers back
Still to be born
Finesse to lack.
The quiet night
Or dawn to christen
The fleeting sounds
To nature listen
The eager pen
Its bleeding ink
Upon a hastened hand
A soul to seek.
Slowly as
The world it turned
Grasping moments
Before they burned
Away into
A fiery sky
A child of words
A poetic eye.
