A Poet's Heart

It is truly sad to say

That a poet’s beautiful heart

Is always in utter pain

As he masters his divine art

Until the end of his days

As he passionately bleeds,

word after precious word

And as he gracefully sings

Like a delicate songbird

His pain still grows

With each waking day

And every dreadful night

With dwindling hope

That the pain shall fade away

But it is not the poet’s choice

As he takes on this risky endeavor

Creating such beauty, pure elegance

Sealing his undying heart away,

In the midst of forever

A poet’s heart,

That is what I have

As I turn my sorrows into art,

Inventing such beautiful memories

...memories that will forever last

For all the world to see...

In all honesty, rhyming poetry doesn't sit well with me, but you did a fine job. Elegant and quite true. Thanks for sharing~

This is a very true poem, why is it always "that a poet's beautiful heart/ Is always in utter pain"? Turning sorrows elegantly into art, that is what we are all doing here on WC. Nice job well done xxx

I quiet enjoyed this piece very much Michael, most of what u said I find myself doing on daily bases. Most of what I write comes from a place in my heart in some kind of form of an envelope of emotion, whether that is one emotion or a thousand. Thank u for sharing.

^^^ that is very true....

"As I turn my sorrows into art,"

We turn what we have into a beautiful piece of art... to our pain, we give them eyes, to our sorrow we give them wings...

A poet's heart will always be know by the words which he writes....

This beautiful...thank you for sharing!

"But it is not the poet’s choice
As he takes on this risky endeavor
Creating such beauty, pure elegance" - I concur Michael - no one would choose this - it chooses us.

A fine poem - inspiring all poets

This is a beautiful poem! I love how you describe what he goes through so that we can fully feel his pain. Awesome job!

Thank you. :) I appreciate it!

I think you nailed the true definition and aura of a poet in this one. It is extremely common that writers and artists alike have a deep sadness inside of them, and you brought awareness to that fact in a wonderful poem.

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. And it is because I am a poet, and I feel this way, that it has allowed me to write a poem like this one. I always write my poetry from the heart, and I wished to give both others, who aren't poets, and poets alike, the truth behind poetry, and a poet's pain. Not enough artists state their pain, rather they create art with it. I simply decided to state my pain in the form of my art. Best of both worlds, I suppose. Haha.
