Poetry is

 


Poetry is the way

you play with language

letting it dance

under a disco ball sky

whilst opening

a part of your heart, a doorway inside,

and laying it out

for everyone to devour.

It lies. It speaks in riddles,

but its truth lives,

as sure as the grass grows in green fields,

if you delve a little deeper

and start to enjoy how it feels.

 

Poetry is beauty.

It is love. It is fear and hurt.

It is light and dark.

It sits in every atom

that creates every living, beating heart.

Poetry is life breathing oxygen into your lungs.

Poetry is that oxygen

pulsing through your bloodstream,

feeding your brain.

Poetry is

the rain

that washes away painful tears

that you have cried for too long,

tears that scar your face

like a river through the countryside.

It’s a forest where there are no trees

behind which to hide, just branches of stories

that leave so much truth behind.

 

It’s the song of a bird sung to no one.

It is that special someone that you dote upon.

It's all of this and more,

it’s the magic that lives

deep within everyone.

Poetry is the call of forever,

the echo of her voice.

Poetry is the silence

when you fall in love

with a heart that’s pure

and your lips touch for the very first time.

Forever begins to feel like

it can never be long enough,

as you are sure

a lifetime will never be able to contain

all of the memories you want to store,

as there are a billion skies

through which you wish to soar.
