Every Poem Has a Story

Every poem has a story, camouflaged, primped, made up and dressed to the hilt; fill ins, understudies and leads, are rehearsed, played, acted out and filmed. Within the start all life is openly displayed by the first impassioned kiss of young lovers, the bold defiant attitude of teenagers, young adults with secrets, lies, and crushes of hormonal desires. In maturity, two lovers are torn from selfishness to promise, trust and vow a never ending bond of love, then brings forth new born babes and their first words, first steps, endless chatter, that first independent “no”. Life begins again and moves forward as all the experiences and stories swell with uncontained joy and laughter yet to tell. Years press on too quickly in fast forward time and everyone grows to relay the play on words of how life was lived and came to be known. Every poem speaks out the history of life and love, its dreams and hopes, its trials and tribulations, its tears and loss revealed in the poets harmony.
