Poetry

Poetry, what does it mean to me

my pain, my story, my legacy

written in the form of poetry

Poetry is a drug I take when

I am sick, to heal my broken

heart, release my inner wit

Poetry is a gift, I receive

from someone near, to cherish

and love so dear, year after year.

Poetry is food, food for my soul

food I eat when hungry to nourish

and make me whole

Poetry is life, life I cant deny

Life I dont deserve

to sooth and calm my eye

Poetry is my gun, I use for self

defense, I pull my trigger finger

with words clever and immense

Poetry is my voice, a soft

silent confrontation, a psalm

of literary quality of verbal meditation

Poetry is my work, I work

day after day, I work a nine

to five just to get some pay

Poetry is my wife she cooks and

cleans for me, she does what I want

I love her with honesty

For what would I be without poetry

what would I say, where would I go

poetry is my gospel, so now you know.
