Nothing More Poem by Leria Hawkins

Nothing More
Date: April 26,2013

In this love, I’ve loved alone
Never once, another’s known
In this life, I have lived
For return, of what I give
Every song that found its wing
From my lips, in exalt ring
Every flutter, every verse
Poured from me, a poet’s curse
Trapped in riddle, lost in rhyme
Some in discord, some in chime
Broken heart and shattered dreams
Passion seized and tied in strings
Bound and gagged, left to wait
By the unyielding hand of fate
Destined for those lonely places
Of phony smiles and poker faces
My love bides by an open door
Just empty space and nothing more
