A poet, a dreamer, shaper of clouds into worded allegories of meaning
A redeemer, offering bared emotion as a sacrifice of self cleaning
Molding reality into metaphors of immortality, wheat from chaff gleaning
Converting sensuality into duality no fantasy demeaning
A borrower, a sorrower, a shaper of shadows polished truth gleaming
Follower, wallower, swallower of poison and tomorrows bright beaming
Breaker of reality, ugliness to see as beauty distilled from mud steaming
Denier of reality, hospitality in brutality, new morality esteeming

Nice poem about poetic life, or any artists' gift of burden. I read it as an almost manifesto of sorts. It's definitely a favorite of mine,
