The Best And The Worst Of It All Poem by Christine A Kysely

'It was the Best of Times
It was the Worst of Times.'

Truer Words were never Said.

And I never ever thought that I knew what it was
What it was that those words truly meant...

Until now...

To Have the Universe be Yours in a Single Bright Thought
To Live with the Nonexistence and Exclusion of Anything Else.

I am a Poet and I am Starving.
Those were the last words
That the Poet ever said.

The Poet now knew exactly
What is was that Shakespeare meant

I now know EXACTLY
What is was that Shakespeare meant.
