Poetry Is The Essence Of Me

Poetry is the essence of me

Open book of poetry as I write my life story for anyone to read

Elaborate details in poetry and prose

The poetess, daughter, friend, mother, sister, wife & widow

Really these are all of me wrapped up into one so unique

You must read my words carefully to understand my life

 

I am my poetry and my poetry is me

Such is the world of this poetess

 

The essence of me is my perfume

Have I left a sweet enough aroma on each & every page?

Elegant words don't always come easy, sometimes they cut deep

 

Evenings I stay up too late writing, sometimes until nearly dawn

Stories & chapters of the life I have lived, & then some

Softly tapping computer keys, as I drift in & out of sleep

Emotions running wild, as my mind becomes manic at times

No one knows me unless they can read between the lines

Carefree I long to be, but it seems my poetry has the better of me

Eratically, I write deep into the night, pouring out my soul

 

Often, I write true encounters, sometimes I write fiction

Flipping through the pages of my creative mind, I find myself

 

Maybe one day, I'll be a famous poet. I can dream, can't I?

Ending my story here, I must say that poetry is the essence of me
