My Memory
Denise Hendrikx Mar 21, 2008
The young writer escapes
To be free like a bird
Stretching his own wings
To make sure his poetry sings
To be heard by the world
To gather success unheard
Praised and loved
To become a dandy without shandy
He prefers to wine and dine
Suits him and his lady just fine
Poems and books written with the flow
This gentleman puts up a nice show
Well loved, sometimes scorned
Yet never by the devil horned
He lived into his old age
His life seemed fragile
Handled with tender loving care
No prevention
To become trapped in the cage
Of a merciless forgetful mind
Filled with rage
To be stopped by
Getting out of life
No more poems
Novels
Films
Paintings
Nor plays
Everything just happens
As he says
His last wish granted
Now, no more body,
Soul, nor mind
He was one of a kind
