Aa Harvey

Give me a reason

Give me a reason.

One poem a day; that is my goal.

I must write something each night or day and show you my soul.

My collection of written words will never be whole,

For it is constantly expanding, as I continue to grow old.

I hope I am worthy of doing this well,

For my poetry is my love and I have many stories to tell.

I will speak of fantasy worlds I dream up inside my mind

And speak the truth whenever necessary, to make the words rhyme.

If you like what I write, then give me some encouragement;

If you have apathy to my poetry,

Then seek another to give your mind its nourishment.

If you take offence at something I have written,

Then I apologise. That is not what I meant,

To do; all I wanted was to show you how I feel,

About that particular subject and now my vessel is spent.

Each poem is unique and should be judged by its own content,

Not compared to another and held up in judgment.

I shall forever write poetry,

For I shall forever seek and gain enlightenment.

I am love, I am fallen,

I am many faces of many men.

I am man, I am woman,

I am myself and many others.

I am right, I am wrong,

I am the son of my mother.

I could end up becoming your lover,

But I shall never proclaim to be anything more than I am; my reader.

You are a part of my life now; you have peered into my mind

And I do hope you have had a nice time reading my lines.

I must find a way of getting my mind and body to conspire;

So I set myself goals to strive for, to keep me inspired.

I motivate myself to continue to write,

By wishing to improve all the time and searching for that next line.

It’s hidden in my mind somewhere,

I just have to find it.

My next goal is to write my thousandth poem

And I have my eye on it.

This will feed me the fuel I need to write another poem

And to each of you I shall continue showing,

How I feel at the moment the poem is created.

My thoughts shall forever evolve,

But my lust for writing shall never be sated.

Only seventy five to go now to reach my next goal.

One poem at a time, I am getting closer to satisfying my ego.
