A Poet's Dream
A poet dreams, a poet writes
Words of passion, mostly unlike,
Like a rhythm nation, they rock in time
Coming from strange but gifted minds
Like a blank canvas that opens up so many feelings and thoughts
Writing words that will affect other people’s hearts,
Dreams filled with hopes and despair and some with luck
Others just need the words to help pick them up
A poet words help others to find their deepest feelings within their own being
Hopefully they will teach as well help those who need just need some healing,
With love and a understanding that can be construed between each line
Taking on subject matters to their limits and beyond most of the time
Subjects which may considered tabooed, others are right on the mark
Company that is for the lonely, one who hides away in the dark,
Addictions and life’s tough woes, a constant reminder for all
Breaking down the barriers of the self imposed walls
Aspirations of greatness stopped by the initiatives of a once strong will
Pouring out the kindness that will essentially help those with the will to live,
Granted far be it not everything is always right
But hopefully the truthful meanings come out in the things a poet writes
Passions of truthful inspirations coming with the territory of what we live
Trying to show the goodness we have learned and what we have to give,
Reflections of a simpleton who plays the poor man’s role
Someone who struggles daily to reach their goals
No judgments or scruples that can be comprised to clog up a mind
Basic instincts that weave moral fabrics, keeping track of somebody during their
lifetime,
Ethics proposed to every individual so they stay on track and not get forgotten in the
mist
Remembering those who simply need a hug or a loving gentle kiss
Producing pictures like a physic that’s able to see within the mind of others
Taking them on a journey within a piece of literature about many subjects covered,
Each individual deciphers the messages that touches their own heart differently it seems
Keeps a poet writing, bearing their soul that is filled with all of his or her, Dreams!
