This is For Poet
I find delight
in those who engage
in limitless moments of
Expression

so watch
my prose
dye this page
to life
as i write a tribute
to poet

Who else can take life’s
most valuable lessons
turn them into a
collection of words
Bled
from soul?

this IS for you poet

from whom
life’s greatest lessons
gleam from their faces
always and forever
never hidden

a permanent tattoo

I ink as I speak
life’s truths
to each of you

Dearest poet,

Thank You
for your gift
expression

Your souls
cast
under the glaring light
of perception

as they smother
it
with meager understanding
confined by society's  definition
of norm

locked minds
try to find meaning.

This is for poet

fearlessly fearful

never questions the words
we ourselves barely make
sense of

as we expose
our deepest held truths
hoping that someone
will misunderstand us
enough
to find clarity
in their own depression

This is For YOU poet

Vulnerability?
we have
NO choice
our passion seeps
like a perfume

always naked
our thoughts
gleam on our skin
offering no barrier between us and them

This is for TEOP

Keep Writing
There is light in your pen
