They'Re Poets

Poetry weave their feelings
Poorly garbed wo(men) huddled low against the fangs of words
Little nights - they never sleep
Rambling for lines in pages as they claim

They're poets

Confused - wander every valley of books
They scribble what they don't know - & do not hear

They're poets

Despite the intent & sorrow they're not aware
Before passion they bow


They're poets
They're lost lovers
They're poor
They're rich 
They're demons
They're Demi gods
They're warriors
They're prisoners
They're strangers
They're death
They're life
They're oppressors
They're happiness
They're lively / suddenly strange
But they're loved just when they're dead
