Between the Lines

By LoneWolf

There on the table
Lies a sheet of paper
Filled with the writings
Of an imperfect hand
Appearing a jumble
Of indescriminate nonsense
A story concealed
Playing hide and seek
Find the beginning
It roots, planted in one's brain
The tale grows and blossoms
Romance and horror
Comedy so tragical
Full of emotions
Through a twisted reality
But to find the seed
You must learn
To read between the lines

Poem written in 2001, for Mr. Mike Vincent
