You are perhaps

You are perhaps
The cynosure of many eyes
despite your blue eyes,
you are the poet of five decades
that’s not old yet
the age is of no significance
time and the water
that has flown down Mississippi
or Thames,
may be Nile or Ganges combined
doesn't show or give off my age.
I care but tuppence
as my mind is young,
a teen’s
and
as an actor of poetry ,
as it seems
I’ m just an adolescent
and
upcoming in many a poets dream,
Albeit
perhaps, it’s too late,
in the doldrums of time
to sound any more a poet
than, I’m

I love it when you write with sincerity and lucidity.

A fine poem.

Yet always you seem to insert something that begs for recognition. It feels self involved. I bet you never read any of the great poets. Do it.

sometimes there are just lines that shine
in all the other finery of word craft

that is one of them

Thank You
