The Mind of A Poet
“I am a poet”
This must mean I’m a savant of moods, and a wordsmith by craft
Though true, these are after effects-
Understanding they lack
See a poet thinks deeply, and feels deeper
I wouldn’t wish a poetic mind on my worst enemy
For the poet sees the beauty like none others do
But also the poet taste the misery like none others too
A poet can smell the rot of emptiness
The spots less admired, they admire even more
A poet feels what cannot be felt
And hears what cannot be helped... but still they try
For to be alive and to die they know to well
A poets mind is a blissful boisterous, precarious hell
