I am a Poet, a Poem

I am a Poet

a

Poem

I am a Poet

The prose I hear deep within my mind

Comes from my wounded-heart

Is

The rage, lust and fear

I capture with

Pen, ink and paper

I am a Poet

I need never despair

Of

My poems disliked and unread

For

My prose is magic to my ears

And

My pen, ink and paper

Create that which I cherish and hold dear

I seek to demand my reader's

Laughter, praise and tears

Their Emotions

Mere putty to shape as I please

With my Werdz ... I scribe

Their heart is momentarily mine

I am a Poet

I need never despair

Of

My poems disliked and unread

For

My prose is magic to my ears

And

My pen, ink and paper

Create that which I cherish and hold dear

I am a Poet

Poem
