The Poet In Me

at a glance one can vaguely see
 the true art of creativity
 through sullen wall of complexity
 I have fondly come to agree

 poetry is an art form within me
 I can't get away from it you see
 pen, book & paper
 in solemn moments of solace

 we tend to sweep things under the rug
 yet I have fallen in love
 with words that capture the imagination
 in some free verse style to know all the great while

 Everyday there's a habitual display flowing through my veins
 just not having a pen in hand is driving me insane
 I see through portals with high lifted mast
 Columns of resolution in compact

 Words can express the deep hidden aura of my imagination
 I may need a break on some long awaited vacation
 just can't seem to get away from it's powerful display
 it acts as therapy when dealing with my mental illness

 we have traveled to far not to turn back now
 there's no looking back when your hand's on the plow
 It's a real volcanic compulsion inside
 sullen brevity
