modern day Poe
most read because,

  as much as they
may not want to admit,

   i always peak
       their interest.

   a new age Poe,
    
          a mind that shoots

      words with arrows

and a

           b
             o
           w

and delivers them

      to the depths

            of one's soul.

            you don't have to like

    my writes but

               i know that you read.

     I too scroll by your selfies,

           used up memes;
  
              unoriginality

and this modern age Poe

      knowing this.....

         i :

               metaphorically roll

                   up my sleeves;

        puncture my heart again and,

      

         the   poetic verse,
it,

    continues to

                         bleed.

    
         there will never be

   another me.

most won't talk much here

        but,

           if i see you out,

on the street....
       OR
in a store....

              you'll act as if....

i'm the one to

    remove you from

                 your rut.🤦🏻

i'm sooooo much more

     than a good time

   or,

a good rhyme.

We had our time
We were never meant to see it through
Grey skies covered your eyes of blue
There were times that I held you so tightly so close
Our love at one time was like a healthy overdose
On the day that we parted those grey skies did rain
I just stood there paralyzed, each tear from those eyes fell upon me like pain
Our lives once together, became a new life with others
Cold nights live now without you beneath those old covers
You went your way and I had to go mine
But what we once had will last throughout time

Some Barry Manilow'esque lyrics that I just quickly whipped up in about 10 minutes time.
Have you ever sat down
with a poet one on one?
Appreciation of their spirit
would be had when you're done.
Poets are complex yet not
very hard to please.
Yes, they think deeply about it all
but they are always that comforting breeze.
They are Spring, they are Fall.
They are a gentle burning fire to
thaw you when you freeze.
Poets long for muses, they long
for their soul to be stirred.
Their depth is never satisfied,
muses are their only cure.
As a poet's eyes first open, pen to
paper is their deep obsession.
Awaiting life to live is a
poets only confession.
They'll drop everything to
absorb a rich moment of time.
But when poets do that,
they do it best in rhyme.
Poets are your anchor in the sea.
A "sure thing", much needed stability.
Most will never know a poet
I'm a poet and....
this is how I know it.

human too
an open,
receptive woman
is easily
captivated by
a poet's
unique passion

without malice,
without intent,
we never mean
to create confusion


we are deeper
and more
mysterious
than most oceans

but;
we can also be,
waves crashing
against the
shore commotion

you'll have to
forgive us
if we
make you blue

we are
simply poets
and,
we are
human too

we may bathe
you in
purple rain

just know that;

we never mean
to cause you
any pain
