the freelance poet

It is the freelance work of the poet
that you render subservient to desire
Of manhood there would be no bravery
demanded by the world if it were not for
You who give an Orchestra notes to play
and a dancer steps to take with care


I am no more than you want me to be
for while you are as an inspiration
I am only the pen that relates to you
a hopelessness in today`s existence
