December 27, 1975 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


On Poetry

The words escaping from my lips
Have seen the light of day before
The apple of my love's delight
Has never shown it's core.
And as I read those words I wrote
They seem to mean less now-
For as I have more things to say
I've just forgotten how.
I'm all mixed up inside, you see
Though I've said that too, I know
And as I sit with turbulent mind
My words find it hard to flow.
I cannot say why I want to scream
Or why I'm crying too.
Or why I think I'll neve make sense
To anyone else or you.
