Rumor Of Treason Poem by KarlRomeo PierreLouis

Where are you dear Philadelphia?
Hiding behind the rage of yesterday
Starving for the mindless paramour of Shakespeare
So to forget the ugly night and the envious New York sky
Where are you dear…Philadelphia?
I am left surrounded by the mutations of my failures
By the paradigm that captures my arresting humanity
Would I be so frank to ask …?
Where… are you …dear Philadelphia?
Have I misplaced you beyond my reach?
Further than my mind and heart can ask you to return from
Plainly in sight maybe….
Where are you dear Philadelphia?
Avoiding me maybe, between the light of day
And the warmth of night
Disguising below the sinews and brooks of storytellers
Only to be mentioned by the whispers of historians
Begging and pleading forth along side me
Where are you …..dear …..Philadelphia?
