Love Poem: When the Poetry Fades Away

When the Poetry Fades Away

Dull becomes the page, when there's nothing left to say 

When the classroom is empty and the projector is blank

And the halls echo in silence their voices now gone 

Autumns past, as the inspiration dies and the winter dawns....

Gathering my pens and a felt unto the chalkboards place 

One final mark amid this farewell, to leave but a happy trace 

As turning out the lights to close the door upon times

Crossing a vacant lot to leave this world; its colours behind....
