Lines

The lines of a poem
often slow, yet fast; 
the lines of a poem
bring back memories past; 
the lines of a poem 
so delicate and light; 
the lines of a poem
bring lovers sheer delight; 
the lines of a poem 
with both wax and wane; 
the lines of a poem
to the poet -  are perfectly sane.

Poems are meant to be read, 
but imaginations are meant to be fed.
