Poetry

Poetry is my kindred spirit
Available twenty four seven
Without texture
Without any genetic structure
Sometimes loyal
Sometimes cutting corners
Shirking the duty
To be my Muse
Having no gender
Unless wishing to be 
My best mate as She
Unless hankering after 
My feline assets as He

Poetry is pervasive 
Yet difficult to capture
Poetry like spores
Is lying dormant 
Until the right climate
Intercepts a sleeping pause
Bringing forth a peculiar voice
Seeping through the darkness 
Underneath my eyes closed
From an unknown source

Poetry does not 
Discriminate any age
Any religion any taste
Any culture any experiment
On language nature
Poetry does not 
Judge any mindset
Bully or harass
Any oddity any estrangement
But accepts all castes
All deviations
Poetry is a rebel at heart

Poetry like music
Painting, dance
Or any form of art
Plays with what is around
Purifies, heals
Dissipates qualms
When recited 
It stings like sharps
Every word perfectly organised
Fluent and blunt
Poetry is cathartic
At home on Earth in Space
And if not for you
Then at least it is 
For some of us

Nice POV about poetry... Poetry is life and beyond... of reality and myth...
