Dumb Poet and His Blind Audience
I do not have a size normally a model does
Nor have I in my face two wonderful eyes
Yet people come to me in a surging wave to see a wonder
What I perform everyday on my stage
You may cast doubt
But I am telling you I never tell lies
I write poems and tell them without uttering a single word
Yet they trail my speech which I could not shout out
Like the keen eyed men trail a song
When I show them how I cook the flooding flickers of my emotions.
My stage is full of indelible ink and
And I stand and I take them
And go to paint my tangled joys and sorrows upon the cloud
Upon the petals of wind and upon the heart of waves
And I finish my magical work without using a brush
You may cast doubt
But i am telling you I never tell lies
I show them though they can’t see yet they go blistering
And trail the Horizon where I keep my miraculous work like rainbow.
