The Immortality Of A Poet Poem by Matthew Holloway

I'm searching desperately
In the hope of that line, that verse
That so captures my readers eye
The steely hook which strikes
Into the mind capturing all at once
That emotion, picture, story
Whatever it is I am trying to tell
I long hungrily to pen it perfectly
And double, treble a readership
That may well be nothing right now
But to have that one poem
That one single moment
Of considered brilliance
I allow that to consume me
Drive me on-wards threw madness
Page after page, line after line
Seeking with desperation
The immortality of a poet
How I desperately want it
So I am never forgotten
