Poetry, is not just
The rhyming of some words
It's an expression of a feeling
Which a heart shepherds
...
Happiness, is like a flower blooming
Its petals hid, its beauty looming
Then it unfolds, in all its splendor
To makes us feel, so warm and tender
...
A message of love, peace and joy
Was gifted to us, by the birth of a boy
Bequeathed as well, for all to enjoy
...
I can't live and watch as you depart
So I'm waiting till tomorrow
Feeling hurt and filled with sorrow
...
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Woke up New Year morning
My head in a fog
My body contorted
...
If it's me that they malign
Should it hurt, if I don't know
If it's them that I despise
Does it, on my face then show
...
BAD NEWS
Bad news is really hard to take
Especially if, a life's at stake
To watch the torture and the pain
...
Surely there are those
Whom our lives will touch
But not for everyone
Will this matter much
...
Do you poets never rest
Do you not thirst or hunger
How despair and misery sustains you
That is what, I wonder
...
Beautiful thoughts, from a beautiful mind
From conception to print, so well defined
A talent we all, are not able to do
A gift that was granted, only to you
...
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
