As I sit and stare at paper pen in hand I dream and yearn to write something people understand Listening, awaiting the voice of a reader fame echoes; beckons even upon the spoken word- Yet money does not come without notoriety And words, words, they are all I have. Friendships lost; family deceased They do not know this mind of mine They do not appreciate poetry They do not love me as and like I have promised to love you... As I sit here typing onto the blank white screen My eyes filter the light and the shadows, Of everything I have ever seen. Music is poetry's best friend And I am dancing; the world is dancing whilst our favourite stars sing My words shake the dance floor... Dreaming of an awakening consciousness is a phantom- Dream poetry, scream if you must Let the people hear Let the people feel Make the people think and Let the world know; Let the world know, Of one persons dream of becoming a poet.
