The Poet Diaries

To scribble on paper
The things that I love
Is like asking vapor
To turn in to rub

It feels degrading
When put into words
To entertain one waiting
With nouns and verbs

This is my heart
My reason for breathing
The jump to my start
My rhythmic beating

But I do it still
Incase by chance
Another soul feels
A kindred romance

If a person can taste
And enjoy the scent
Digest the grace
Then I won't repent

My efforts prove fruitful
When evoking emotion
When noted as truthful
By an unknown friend
