iwannabeapoet

Going through the mountain that has accumulated over the last month, I found this poem that I must've written some time in recent weeks. I quite like it, so don't judge me for it, but if you have to say its crap, then at least leave it in a comment.

Like a waterfall miles down
the river, a rain that came
while we were out at sea - the time
that I was always told would come
is suddenly here. Funny then, that everything
I ever wanted arrives just after desire
has made its departure, a sober
maybe even sensible fellow
left behind.


Funny how you look at stuff you wrote just moments ago and feel like you've grown out of it already.

Thanks for having a look, my name is paul and I believe idealism is worth it.

Still can't beat 1993's:
Let me count the ways I love you,
1, 2, 3 and fianally Infinity!

On Re-discovering Idealism

Funny then,
that a man should grow
back into a boy,
and discover,
while paddling upstream -
that the source of the water,
is not lost.
