My poetry

My poetry is my heart beat,
it is my sleep, my thought,
it is me and what I am,
It is the thread that holds me
and many journeys I have made,
do not judge it by its rhyme,
or the meshwork of words,
but look at it as a part of my being,
you may have your own scale to judge,
do not place it against my verse,
let it be like it is,
for what it is worth,
I do not write to cater to them
and their ideas of composition,
but write to fulfil the breath that is,
that speaks of my life,
life that I have lived and known,
my poetry is
time’s signature of me as I was,
in an unseen volume that holds my thought.
