My Response To Rumi

What transpired in your vigor?
"Rumi!" Your comos flee against well-being
Your psychological state is tottering
“You’ve allowed heartache to manifest!” 
Let you be! You're not well, ranting to thyself.


Wandering the streets with no footgear,
No shirt, no soul, fading spirit
This not a path to restoring agony
Let me see you through to the Doctor---
They’ll cure your mental anguish.


You can’t gasp communication properly
Obviously-not an aid to sorrow---
Psychiatrist gave you prozac so don’t backtrack
You’re grasping reality recurrently-think that
You let yourself dip to heal your universe.

"If you desire healing,
let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill."

-  Jalaluddin Rumi

DON'T FIGHT IT.....WRITE IT!!

Tantalizing you make it seem
As easy it maybe to gleam
This poor brain is out cream
To come up with a theme
~
I want to be supreme
And let the stream be filled to the brim
But this poor brain is out of cream
To come up with a theme
~
Now give me my husband dear
He is always makes it appear
So easy like putting on footgear
It is just so unclear for it to be sincere
~
Life would be so much easier to be William Shakespeare
From my golden pen onto my paper words would flow and appear
Like honey in a beehive of gold
Inspired poems to  be unfold
