I should be back-alley midnight dead <br />Having seen the last sunset’s vanishing light <br />Replaced with a gorgeously blood-dripping eternal night <br />Instead of counting lingering regrets <br />With lonely and dimming eyes still squinting into the past. <br />I only wanted to live a limited amount of days <br />And I’ve pointlessly over-extended my stay… <br /> <br />Had I been a teenage genius <br />Along the lines of Arthur Rimbaud, <br />I wouldn’t hesitate to go, <br /> <br />One should create art <br />And then flee <br />Like a wild and ruthless bandit <br />Into the next poet’s exhilarating dream!<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-next-poet-s-exhilarating-dream/
