Constant Verse

It only takes a

bad hangover

to see the difference

 

in regular behavior

regular writing

versus something

truly creative

and outside the

void

 

it takes courage

to put down words

that you truly believe

 

that are honest

and do not stray

from the heart

of the matter

 

a feeling that can’t be faked

or replicated

because the difference is obvious

 

to those who have experience

they can spot it right away

and it means the world

 

the only kind of verse worth reading

and can reach anyone

of any life

a doctor, psychiatrist

janitor, teacher,

florist

 

true verse doesn’t have to try

because it’s true

it’s already there

on the tip of the tongue

in a shared meaning

meant to be experienced

by those who need it most

 

time and place

dictates the chosen souls

they know who they are

and can\'t do anything 

about it.

that\'s

a good thing

because they are

the creators.
