Starting Over

i've been in love before
i've wrote about everything there is
to live for
in my expressions i try my best
trying phrase after phrase
useing test after test
for does it feel right 
does it sound right
does it touch a certian truth
with in
some small ideal and i'll begin
a small piece of paper and a pen
and words come to life
that i somehow claim as mine
maybe they were said before
but never to my mind
i think about my fellow man
with whom this poetry i'll share
through a few lines together
and hope to fine some agreement there
but mostly what i like to do
is melts the womens hearts
they are all Eve in a way 
and i have Adams heart
with poetry we define emotions
useing words like love potions
always to impress
make them think more or less
choosing what we think or feel
writing about the fake of real
building pride with in ourself
the use of imagination itself
or perhaps we shall have a cause
write the reasons we have laws
tell the world what we are
try to be a little star

I think we all have reasons why we write. Sometimes those reasons can change depending on what is happening in your life. God Bless Phyl
