Poem Title:
Poem
Who coined this term? Who decided to limit one’s spirit? Who decided to deprecate those qualities that remain hidden? Out of my league… What is the measure? Who created the scale? Is it beauty???? There is an inner splendor that defies the term Is it grace???? There is the graceful movement of the soul that moves beyond the boundaries of description Is it shapeliness??? The shapes and forms of the mind, the curves and lines Are unclothed in words and unseen by eyes Is it sexual dynamism??? The body may be painted by an artist, but it has no power to satisfy desire unless it succumbs to the promptings of a sensual mind Is it wisdom??? There is the wisdom verified by degrees and the wisdom of the world which is broader and at times deeper than the few letters at the end of a name Is it wealth??? The wealth of the world does not even begin to tip the scale In comparison to the wealth of human character…integrity, loyalty, mercy, and love What is it??? What is that illusive quality That demands the stamp of “Out of my league?” I defy it I renounce it No one can label me… Yet...I am in a league of my own Beautiful Sensual Shaplely Wise Wealthy Dynamic A dynamism that a label cannot hold A wealth that cannot be weighed A wisdom that guides inner spheres of life A shapeliness that flaunts the norm A sensuality that inflames thought and movement A beauty that shines in its own right Yes! I am in a league of my own If you are turned away By outer appearances By lack of wealth And the trappings of prestige You are missing the treasure The sheer enigma Of a mind that is deep, unbound, free In this league that I live and breath in This league of....ME!
