if my words find no
melodious note
without accompaniment
then they are no poem
if they drop the chalice
meant to hold the last drop
of beautiful
then they are no poem
if they cannot feather in
the edges of madness
with strokes of reason
then they are no poem
if they gush unrestrained
and i cannot direct their flow
so they merely flood one's mind
then they are no poem
if they cannot pass
the judgement of their maker,
the Bosporus of his craft,
then they are no poem.
