Eternal Poet

(Víctor Lemes)

I suppose I had better become
the eternal poet once more
instead of trying to become
the persons I have written
on each of my verses.

There shan't be another chance
For my inner self is lost
And yet is eager to be found
By whom loves him best.

One must do whatever fits
Best to the life he might be leading;
Few have got the gift of sincerity,
Fewer have got the honesty
To blantly speak their words
To the world without talking, 
Just versifying.

What is there, whoever is 
All the Rest of me,
I have become
The Eternal Poet
Forever more.
