POETRY

Poetry, is not just

The rhyming of some words

It’s an expression of a feeling

Which a heart shepherds

 

A rhapsody of heart and thought

Immersed in joyful bliss

Or dashed upon those rocks

Of agony’s abyss 

 

Pictures made of words

Painted by a quill

Words that dance and twirl

At the penman’s will

 

The fusion of a thought

With the gift of soul

Emotions that are freed

Without any control

 

The sorrow of a heart ache

Set in rhythmic prose

The rhythm of true love

Which, two hearts compose

 

Visions sketched in words

For everyone to see

Desires and their dreams

In hopes that they will be

 

The harmony of lyrics

A mind and heart have spawned

Set in melodies of verse

To which, we all respond
