A POEM IN A PILE

Inspired by the wonderful Mr Pack, here's a poem, created from books on my shelves.

Have a go. You know you want to.

WHAT WAS LOST
on THE ROAD
to INFINITE RICHES,
back in NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR,
was our MINDS AND BODIES,
AS IF
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US
was INVISIBLE and
THE MADNESS OF LOVE,
WHATEVER LOVE MEANS,
was THE LOUDEST SOUND AND NOTHING
could hurt our PERFECT LIVES.
But then: DISGRACE.
And AFTER YOU'D GONE,
in my HEART OF DARKNESS:
THINGS FALL APART.
