More valuable life
With more ways to measure
The merit of strife
And option of pleasure

Grams of Carats

what i love about poetry

poetry doesn't talk
or converse

it yells, screams
simmers, caresses 
electrifies, vivifies
soars, carries, raps
pampers, wraps
dreams, dances
laments, soothes
embraces, catapoults
the truth, the 
zoetic gold
of the heart

even if tainted, alloyed, 
buried, misshapen,
domesticated,
melted, newly formed

the gold, 
if you dare

read it, 
if you dare 

wear it
unveils the
24 karat
jewelry of the
human heart
