Don't regard
me a poet
I'm not
perhaps never
to qualify
as one-
a solemn truth
still swimming
in the sea
of words
often struggling
to keep
my head
above water
to escape
drowning
so
don't call
me a poet
I'm only still
a weaver
of sentiments
a learner
from the Masters
a lone traveller
in the desert
in search
of self
to place
myself
right in
fitting words
yet
I despair not:
it's enough
to have
into such
ventured
