I'D Like To Be That Poet

I'd like to be that poet 
My book upon the shelf,
Where each and every reader can somewhat see themself.
Some days you may feel gloomy, the darkness moving in 
And other days are sunshine days 
happness a brightful grin.
For those who are stuck in a rut & cannot see the light
And those whose life is moving fast,
Will only see the night.
Read each line of my verses
One prominantly stands out
The one that catches in your mind,  is the one your thoughts will shout.
Those cosy nights of cuddles with either partner or child
Together read the poems 
Let imagination run wild.
You picture each tiny segment of how this poem will be
For somewhere in your life time 
This poem relates to the.
Happy hour of energy, 
bursting like a clown, 
to music I enjoy the most
I always fool around.
I sing a verse or two from the song I think I know
But some how whoever's with me, 
Will sing it how it goes.
There's days lied upon the sofa
Old movies are the best,
When movies were good movies 
Where men were smartly dressed.
Women with the 60s dresses swishing at the hips,
Pretty faces with their hair rolled up 
pure beautiful red lips.
But for now I'm content with writing 
It's always been my passion,
Just as Versace the designer,
has his very own brand fashion.
So one day I'd like to be that poet
My book upon the shelf
After successful  years have passed me by I can congratulate myself.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
