Confessions of a Poet

Confessions of a poet.


A poet is an investigator of love

a poet, is beat

his motivation, his muse

his muse, his voice

a poets verse, a verse

a poets verse, his voice

his expressions, his words

his page, anything blank




A poets posture is aliterate 

a poets state of mind, an intellect 



A poets life is a poem waiting to be written

a poets weakness, anything fine and dandy 

his strength, desolation

his desolation, a reality

his reality, a written poem




A poet is a stranger

a poet is recognizable
a poet remembers anything that catches his attention

a poet forgets names but never moments

a poet hates authority

a poet questions everything




A poet has been diagnosed

a poet is a prognosis 

a poet is medicated

a poet is a figment




A poet is imaginary

a poet seeks meaning

a poet, an enigma

a poet has been born twice




A poet forgives

a poet rejects

a poet has lived

a poet regrets, just once, otherwise, why write at all?
