Just Like Him
A moving stroke,
It whispers there on the page,
I wonder.
Someone spoke a rhyme,
Once.
A rhyme delivered from her lips.
It moved him,
It moved his brush,
It moved his heart and slurred it across the page.
The page.
An empty sheet, once like him.
Colours dull and darkening,
Once like him, hardened.
And now they stand among the rest.
Among the rest.
Ordinary.
Once a power, moving through,
Is now in storage, detached from it’s former feelings.
Just like him.
Just like him, once.
