I Am Poetry
I am poetry a nightingale stringing blues
Of medieval lyrics---swords sliding bows.
lyrics whose broken tones,
can't be rewritten, of blood feud
my smiles shines thru the brightness of
the sun, the sudden rain beating old California to dance
an architect of my words
I cut, I saw , I bridge, I gap I measure
To befit, it feet on it golden lines
You call rhymes, verse, metre and rhythms
I am Poetry, a cook of delicacy, with my words
As ingredients, source, vegetables, aroma
Seasoning, pastries, salt, to savour you sweet.
Imaginary mental sensational picturesque
I am Poetry, a tailor with a running machine
Weaving threads, jumping needles, cutting
' n' sawing, knitting baby's cap as a song of
Lullabies, measuring tapes, running stitches
Slashing scissors, buckling pins as words
I am Poetry, a teacher of rhymes ' n' blues
with white running on black walls chopped
a Mahogany tree for a plywood
With red and blue inks exchanging greeting
I am Poetry fitting my words, big or small
vocabulary, smoothening the journey
of you Memories, from far, through tunnels I pace through
from wide, Some narrow, some shallow
Some painful, some intriguing, some coarse
Some vanishing, some skywalk, some catwalk
Some musings, velvety, opaque, transient, extinction
I a m p o e t r y
wind, that touch the palms of leaves, to sooth their skins
breathing a heavy sigh of relief
I am the tender breeze that scent memories
And smell of ages
I am poetry, my tongue flows streams Of tasteful
rhymes, the rhythm in your jazz, pop and Calypso
I am poetry a mic with a toasted wire
Connecting it source from the everlasting
Flow of waves, that waterfalls rocks and
Pebbles, hitting against the tides of times and seasons
Am in your neural cubicle
In tuning your brain to string rare melodies
Caress your spine, beautifying your innate poetic mind
I am P o e t ry
