PLEASE NOTE: The original writer of this poem is Sasha Hayles.

Poets meet here.
Where the mind and soul connect
To telepathically spew about the
metaphors
Similes
And verses
Of words unsaid
About those spiritual genius
And poetic fiends
Who's tongue drips lyrical acid
Onto us, to burn into our chest
And relieve us
Of words unsaid.

Poets met here.
And their life line that tethered them to the coast
Of their sanity's sanctuary
Were frayed at the edges
And broken when they were caught up
In the rapture of
Gluttonous
Overly simplistic
And iconoclastic mentality
That closed mouths never moved forward...

With campaigns established
Accolades accomplished
An honourable life, taken to the max
Championed feats, of no small measure
A nation can treasure
Matters addressed with proficiency
The shaping of an era – equality
Realization of rights, project legacy
Impacting a wider communityRaise the bar, unsettled below
Challenging the status quo
Battles fought
With justice sought
Of leadership, seeking to serve
When forces merge
Mark the campaign
The present cannot remain the same
Confinement release
Establishing peace
Break the borders
Let indifference cease
A fight for freedom, oh justice prevail
Of strategic systems – show society
With due propriety
Of political accountability
The epitome of civility
Accrued insight
Of human rights
To lobby, to lead
With fairness proceed
Catalyst creation, positive change
Expansion of range

Of non discrimination
Heroic determination
A valuable service to the vulnerable
Outreach outstanding, by example lead
Contributed equation
To influence a nation

Of historical significance
Sheerly profound
With relevant reverence
A shining light of difference

She
She might be pretty
But I can tell you why
the sun is shining so bright..
Why?..

When birdies fly
The fish's swim through
To reach the sky..


She might be tall
But I am small,
And I can fit right..
into your pocket

Take me anywhere,
Whisper sweet nothing in my ear..


She might be funny
But so am I..
You just can't see it
Through thoses eyes..

Your laughter rare as hayles comet,
On a summer night..


And she will never
know you Like I do..

And she'll never be able to love you,
Through in through..

..

She might have money
But Iv have time..

And I can count on two hands
All that's mine..

..

She might be perfect
But im a go getter,

Genuine, and all the better..
My laugh is real,
My smile is crisp
And my love is Strong.,



She will never know you  
Like I do..

She will never be able to love you
Through and through..

..

Ak.
