The Poeteer

Fondle the philosophers
Or scholars and thinkers alike
“-Ologies” or “-tists” do not facts of science make

A place must needs be 
Where emotions may eclipse
To experience adventures of love 
Delve into fantasy and escape 

Then, might I suggest to be led away...
By thrill of poeteer
And his penned verse escapades

Swashbuckling gay through history's pages
Living on life's raw edge commotion
Into passions inner darkness 
When heartbreak questions every sense

And his essences lingers on 
Amidst, what some shall dub
The wild and tameless hearts 
But, this where beheld and captive
Are those ageless forever notions

From simple existence
Where sonnets were birthed 
Upon ancient stone walls and tablets
To scrolls and books 
Come alive the words we so now cherish
