PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've come to the point where I've honed

my poetry

If you'd like

I'll share it with the'

shall I be bold and say that it sometimes

makes me cry

or would you rather I be rash and say

'tis no more than a mere lie

it wells up from the inside

it drums on the inner walls

of my head

and pushes outward through my hide

I have to get it down on paper

If I don't it will be forever lost

and to my inner self

that would be too great of a cost

it sets my soul at ease

it makes my short passage through

this cruel world

a proverbial breeze

let this whimsy and candor soothe

life's fevered brow

If I have helped you

that will be the blessed'

and I'll know I've been able to once

again be there for someone somehow.....
