Alone Poem by Kevin East

So I am alone
But will not cry.
Won't miss the pain
Or the fakes who lie
With empty words.

I have the birds,
The sea and the sky.
Their poetry will set me free
And I'll get by.
Stargazing
Trail blazing with my rhymes.

Touching hearts
With real life crimes
Of love and romance
And other things, by chance
That do not last.

I'll tie myself to the mast
Turner felt the same emotion
As he gave himself to his paints.
My prose will bleed
And stir the saints.
Or the broken hearted can grieve
As like ivy my stanzas weave
Watered well with tears
For women who leave.
Bitter sweet.

That lonely street I walk until I die
The odes to make them cry
Crafted from the scars of a sigh.
So I am alone
But my poems will be my tears.
As memories will haunt my eyes.
Only heartbreak survives the years
When love spits out its goodbyes.
