Poet's Pen

I wield the almighty pen
The poets mighty sword
Drawing blood or drawing fancy
Pen the sensible or the absurd

I can launch a thousand ships
Put birds afoot or on the fly
On a sad man write a smile
Or put a happy man to cry

The moon turned on to brightness
My pen being my switch
Or turn it off to darkness
If it's darkness that I wish

Make two lovers angry
Have them have a lovers spat
Or holding hands and kissing 
Without worry or regret

I can travel back in time
Or travel all the land
I can tear or build new worlds
I can do it with my pen
