Who Is a Poet

It is - "Poetry"
Nickname - "Poetree" 
But who is a poet
Is he a designer woven golden 
words

I have held lies -
lies that serves as food for 
the soul 
While my mind triggers on 
different verses 
Is he a fisherman with a hook 
and a bail

They say 'Poets are colorful'
But how colorful are they
When they hide their sorrows 
behind metaphors, 
And spill out their emotions 
through a pen and a paper

Who is a poet 
Is he a drummer - 
a drummer 
who beats during church hour 
Or arrests a girl's heart during 
honey moon 

I have held lies - 
lies that caught me unaware 
For this mind of mine has fallen 
beneath the earth 
It's no more synchronizing

Who is a poet 
Is he a promiscuous guy - 
a guy who rhymes a woman's 
heart using rhyme scheme 
Or a fighter who goes on a war front 
with a paper and a pen

Is he the one that never sleeps 
His ink is filled with deep emotions 
And clothed in passionate words 
Or a young man who sells his love 
to a beautiful stranger 

I have seen a poet 
But do not know who is a poet 
For his words are like the rainbow 
It is either red, blue, yellow or green 

So, let us fly above the Atlantic 
Sit at our favorite spot 
And sing our favorite song 
For a poet is a poet - he's undefined
