POETRY

Poetry are more than ink from a pen
More than words from the lips,
Poetry takes you into the mind of the writer
And allow you, to observe the workings of his mind 

Like a painter bringing to life, a dead and empty canvas 
Poetry shines its light, on distant galaxies of conversations 
From the deep and dark thoughts of the writer 
Grabbing its readers by the juggler, and causing their gaze to focus 
On an imaginary view, That brings them to a hushed silence

Poetry are snapshots of times and actions 
A recapturing of days gone by 
And tales of the future,
Love and it’s burden, hatred and it’s rewards 
Poetry are songs never before sung
And a delight to those that are intrigued by its beauty.
