Poems by Eddie Draper
Horizons of my heart Sunsets of my youth Landscapes still remembered Not forgotten in my view-- Panorama's panacea Promising my plight I pledge thy podium Oh tonight--thy pulpit is my might-- Longin' for a laurel world No speech--no sound-no curse-- A vestige of pious realms No ignorance--yet verse-- Sonnets on a sunset Float to truthful plains-- Never waving--constant course Oh, venue long remain-- Horizons of my heart Oh, faithful one who speaks-- Tread me not on paradox But pay my toll to seek--- |
I place my hands on some black keys, Leaving the white to rest-- And this goes on for some short while Until I collect some tears inside-- And then I remember the white keys' feelings of jealous love and need for want-- How sorry then I feel-- I mix some black and white in my song-- No color could I find-- But when I play with equal blacks and whites--My song rests another night-- No sorrow do I feel-- I place my hands on all-- content--- |
