A Poet

Loving a poet    
can bring forth    
moments of    
ultimate euphoria,    
as well as pain    
that you feel into the depths of your core 
 
Poetry is the religion and the muse the deity.    
for the muse..  
you ache    
you  please    
you desire    
while on bended knee    
you break    
   
Passion consumes    
thoughts overflow into words   
beauty and pain are seen deeply through the mind's eye,    
and even more potent    
in the depths of the soul  
   
When a Poet loves,    
every pulse of the heart will cascade  
that love will be    
made immortal by the power of words    
flesh touched by ink stained hands    
making love by the song in which your love created    
the melody of words imprinted upon the heart  
the lyrics tattooed upon    
every inch    
every crevasse    
of the skin    
your love becomes a poem    
etched under the layers    
the memory lingering    
long after both hearts depart    
your poem is forever aching    
under that fine lining    
burning through    
your veins    
   
A Poet has a restless heart    
say nothing for hours    
and never at complete peace   
a continuous search within    
never completely satisfied    
words overflow onto paper  
yet there is never a full understanding settled    
the mind races    
the heart aches    
the soul longs    
many emotions are never spoken    
yet every truth of thought    
flows with fluidity through    
the ink    
   
Loving a Poet  
is to live constantly    
on the edge of darkness    
but forever    
in the light  
of beauty
