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
