Pertaining to Poets

The souls of poets are sublime,

Though they seem sentimental.

Some say they’re sad, but the like the gods

They’re silent, still and gentle.

 

The thoughts of poets, when conveyed

Can cause a heart to flutter.

Read from a page, they sound like words

A human could not utter.

 

The pens of poets, when they’re primed

Can pulverise a planet.

Their ink can heal or break a bone,

Or melt a heart of granite.

 

The lives of poets; they are filled

With joy and jubilation.

Their words are wove on sacred wings

Of angel aviation.

 

The wives of poets sometimes grieve,

Like widows in their towers,

When poet’s mind is merged with muse

For many moonlit hours.

 

The lives of poets, short or long;

It doesn’t really matter.

Their breathed out beauty, it will grow

From single seed they scatter.
