KyPoetry - Lyrics

The Poet

lyrics and music written by Kylyra

from the album 'Purple'

In the dustbin of the world

the poet lies bleeding.

Railing against the light,

against the night-blooming poison

stealing sacred dreams

and dew-fresh flowers.

His hands foreign things,

his mind a maze of menace;

he lost his words

to the wind.

The moon judges him coldly,

a pencil shaded figure

vomiting black ink.

The poet is no more;

only the dust remains.
