I AM A POET

I am a lover,

the one you fall in love with. 

Then you become the words

that fills my pages, 

as I caress you with my pen. 

I am a poet! 

I am a soldier 

armed to the teeth with words. 

In life's battlefield, 

I fight and shoot ills with my pen, 

a weapon that defines me. 

I am a poet! 

I'm an artist

I paint the dreams you envisage. 

I sketch emotions to life, 

personification, imagery and symbolism are my tools. 

I am a poet! 

Mind as wide as the universe, 

looking straight into your heart. 

Deeper than the sea, 

I read the sighs you cannot see. 

I tour in your land of imaginations 

and birth unique creations. 

I am a poet! 

Eyes that see the depth of a soul, 

ears that hear the silence in your pains. 

I erase your gnaws and eat deep into you, 

with words that soothe your wounds. 

I am a poet! 

I am a poet! 

In heart and soul. 

I see the faults in your system, 

and make you whole. 

I cook your moment and mood

with the right recipe put  into books. 

I am a poet!
