Neon Faces

James Schwartz

by: James Schwartz

For a long time and many years
I wandered the world never finding home
Meeting nothing but forgettable lives
Writing jaded memories in a blue poem.

For a long time and many years
My broken spirit remained unsung
I grew to love the dark shadows
And my name on the goosips’ tongue.

And I grew tired and I grew weary
My broken spirit remained unsung
My words were blue and broken
And my portait remained unhung.

For a long time and many years
Sorrow and grief darkened my core
Writing empty recollections in a blue poem
Until I knocked upon your door.

And love answered, drawing me inside
And love swept me away in raver embrace
And love sung my freed spirit’s song
And love kissed my neon face.
