An Old Heartache

Desertwind

On the street corner 

there's an old man 

singing songs 

where he still 

has some love 

in him yet ,

somethings a heart 

no matter what 

doesn't forget 

 

No one but him knows 

all that's past 

before his eyes ,

and what's left 

within him 

or when 

it dies 

 

How many voyages 

of love 

he's made 

on boats or ships ,

and how many tears 

from his eyes 

still drips 

 

A lot of people's hearts 

are tied together 

by love and songs ,

and the ones they sing 

they think is 

where their love 

belongs 

 

I think this guy 

would go far 

in the musical arts ,

his voice paints 

a beautiful picture 

about 

broken hearts

    I love how you pictured the origins of this man displaying his talents to the world. We honestly pass by them but we often overlook the story they lived. It's nice to see your depiction! 💖
