A Poet's World

This poem is about the life and feelings of a poet/poetess. In a poet's world there is heaven and hell, and many stories to tell. There are mysteries to solve and codes to unravel, many roads to travel. There are confessions of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Storms of rejection, dejection, and sorrow. Reflections of love, marriage, and romance. Expressions of flamboyance and dance. In a poet's world there is music of rhythm and verse, imaginations of all things on earth. Songs, sonnets, lyrics, and beats, gardens of flowers and of trees. There are times of drama, prose, and learning. A constant desire burning. Laughter and tears and feelings of fear, all in a poet's world. There are influences to work, criticism and hurt. Achievement and goal, warmth and cold, visions of life and death, and times to be quiet. In a poet's world there is religion, science, and belief, faith, hope, war, and peace. Emotions of anger and tempers that rage, many characters on stage. In a poet's world there are promises and dreams, nightmares and screams, humbleness, happiness, and philosophy, a lifetime of writing for infinity. It's an angel who speaks to the poet's soul, to tell the world all his heart holds.
