I knew a poet

I know one day she will say "I knew a poet"

I knew a poet once who had an abstract imagination

Who told stories in jingled verses

Who built empires with his paper and pen

Again and again spilling the beans right in the streams of my emotions

A poet who stood shy in his own corner with a couple of unattended emotions

In his bag

Dressed in baggy sags torn pieces of the world

He had tales even his pen wouldn't tell

 

 

 

I know one day he will say "I knew a poet"

I knew a poet who moved mountains for a girl

But never was his efforts appreciated

Who never took life seriously

Found humor in heartbreaks and bleeding souls

Who was mad dead in the expressions of the edges of the world

You knew well how he fished spirits in the deep oceans of life

Sliding his pen lazily on his paper and making a thought

A poet who let his pains disguise in his convincing smile

Breathing life into tired thoughts

But still he had tales his pen wouldn't dare tell

For his pen feared what he would tell

And never got the ink to.................
