Poetry Has Many Stories To Tell

It tells of a borrowed joy counted in scores,
A night without love but embraces many
A canopied broken heart by the seaside' insanity
It tells of words championed by a fearless faith.


Poetry has many stories to tell more than
My grandfather's watery unpalatable mouth
It harbours a shrine of tales to tell of heroes 
Many dread her root of folklore and fables.


Her mouth is the shelter to many iconic gems 
Once watered with a branded gin of history
The soup of yesterday will teste sweeter today
She sag down a mountianous boredom of fear.


Her myths soaked like linen of perspiring soul
She tells of love and hatred, dreams and hope;
Life and death, sin and righteousness before gods 
She reveal memories of cemented tricks.


Poetry has many stories to tell to the eyes
It all depends on how you tell the story 
Double bladed by the muse of your creativity
And cursed by the venoms of her words.
