Post Chords (poem)

Post Chords

_---------

And

When the pain of bread and butter eases

The heart can pretty much do what it pleases

But freedom comes on a weary night

When desires have morphed to a strange new plight

Sighs  of relief replace

Whispers of love

Flakes of vanity

Cover the windshield somehow

It's a safe place to be

On a throne of bygone fears

But something freezes over the years

A few guitar plucks

Brings back a reminder

You are the one lost

And yourself the finder
