Some say poems don't have to rhyme
I think that's a complete
and utter lie

It's the ring and the chime
within the rhymes we create
that produce the sheer
and lovely little lines

An expression of our existence
Lies within the deep mesh
of our flesh and resistance;
Towards persistence and
perfection

The rhyme within our poems
Scream with complicated
convictions

The ones of which we write,
shouldn't hide behind the
facades of any restrictions

We are the words we create
They needn't be burdened by
limitations
