Words Poem by Jay Alexander

I walked and walked,
Stared at the sky,
Then words poured
Through the clouds
Like rain;
Strayed by ponds,
Rivers, dirt-tracks,
Saw phrases lined-up,
Like long green shoots
Beside me;

Drove at midnight
Through a city centre
Where sentences flashed
Through my mind
Like the blazing
Advertising hoardings;
Looked down into
Black night from
The 20th floor of my flat,
Heard writing streak crazily
Below me, red and gold;

Sat in front of my PC's
Welcoming blue light,
Scrolled through passage
After written passage,
High-lighted the lot,
Pressed the delete button….

Who would save me now?
