a species united uniquely unto themselves, they sincerely are.
we quickly see beauty in what others walk by and never take notice.
we see horror and feel tragedies deeper than any murderer's knife could ever cut us.
they share hearts that beat outside of our human bodies, susceptible to all unGodly figures and shadows that wish to devour it.
passion and imaginations unmatched by the throngs of ordinary organisms that inhabit this land.
poets wake up- wrapped in lush red roses and smiles while cloaked in vibrant color while others are dullards - monotonous and embrace their black and white life.
when coupled with like ilk..... they finish one another's sentences;
they are the pill that cures all of the other's ills;
they are the cool on the other side of the pillow;
they intimately and intensely explore moments as one in abundant fervor;
they are the soothing and only voice amid a hurricane's winds;
poets own the hearts that are sweet to the taste and forever beat in the lives of those that have truly engaged them;
poets....are;
well -
they are
poetry.
the subtle tide that washes upon your feet on the shoreline during a sun soaked 90° day.
the breath of warmth from the fireplace on a winter's snowy early morn.
Get to know a poet if at all possible.....and turn a life of mere words into poetic verse.
