A Liar Poet

Poets are accused to be a liar 
But here in this poem I am telling you to believe me 
For the reason that though I write poems 
Yet I have not become a poet 
And poems are not poems either they are true confessions 
The true perception and conception according to my heart and mind 
Till now there is nothing wrong 
Neither with me nor with my poems 
We are both going perfectly hand in hand 
But if I go like this few lines more 
Then I fear this could be a poem and I could be a poet 
No more I could hold up tight what I promised to you 
I am itching to tell you a true lie 
That I gave my all what I had to my love 
And I was happy because she received well 
So far so good, yet it does not become a poem 
My honesty and truthfulness did not get any recognition 
So I am telling you now a big lie that I am big poet 
Do you still believe that poets do not tell a lie? 
Squarely the onus is on you, I am getting late bye , bye!
