Penny a Pound
Just one night a year
remember me
this heart, now bankrupt
is all you'll see.
Your heart, turned to frost
fed my addiction
a penny a pound
my road to perdition.
Take heart young one
do not grieve
I'm no longer alive
but still I breath.
Broken and alone
emptiness fills my days
no longer seeking light
I've lost my way.
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
