Extraordinary

a poem dedicated to my friend. :)

I can not pretend
that I am uninspired
By the power of your words
rich with passion and desire
To continue holding on
the strength of your words I require
‘cause like the flame upon a torch
They set the edges of my soul on fire
The meaning behind each verse
Casts a spell deep into my mind
As if I’m searching for hidden treasure
Never know what I might find
I can see your work for what it truly is
My dear for I am far from blind
The talent that you display
Certifies you a poetic mastermind
You have been given a gift
A gift that’s unique, one of a kind
From your eyes tears have shed
From your heart sorrow has bled
The truth of your words ring in my head
I understood the complexity of what they said
Every verse that you craft is special so keep fighting
Forget what the critics say and just keep on writing

Dedicated To Riyah Walton
