A great artist once told me
what is fluid, is poetry
it can be a shapeshifter
or a solid rock
has everchanging colors
or  just black and white
some tasted like honey
some, bourbon on the rocks
to tell a romantic story
to make the tragedy of love
does not dictate!
does not obsess,
it will not tell you what to be
it is of freedom
it is of fate
that some poets unlived
not due to death,
but due to faith,
the most chivalrous
-are here.
