Poetry is beautiful truth
written to woo you.
The sound of Sun stroking
green leaves into gold at sunrise.
A lovely melody wrapped in a voice
Sung to sway you
And my two eyes silently capturing
Yours to arrest and adore you.
Poetry is the undeniable words
By the scribe to seduce you
The language that lures
Loops and lassos
The luminous heart of the moon
And lights you up
Bringing out all the beauty
And unspoken passions of you.
Poetry is the quintessential lips
The expression of everything
You are and much more
Glowing in the universe
All I can imagine
Flowing from an invisible river
Across the waiting page
Telling everyone poetry is you.
