it began with an emotion
it began with an emotion
written for me to read
so easily it came to me
in black and white
it etched the page
revealing inside
what I had contained
it grew deeper, stronger
as each page was filled
splashing my ink
all over the white sheet
it became more than emotions
as I began to have fun
writing my thoughts
on different topics I wanted to explore
it was exciting to play with words
laying them outĀ
as an artist that I was
discovering later
that it was in fact
this form called poetry
that was there
from the very start
creating
bending
shaping it
to what I wanted it to be
formatting
constructing
breaking it
until it satisfied me
it all began with an emotion
weaving its way in time
where I grew to love it
use it anytime
