Every rhythm, every drum,
From Suburbs, urbans to slums.
Poetry is inside of every creature
and every creature is inside of poetry.
Like an enormous dome that exists
within your brain coloured with a vivid picture.
**
Chants, recitations, and conveyance occur in its mixture,
poetry is every individual lying in a tomb in every cemetery.
From every factory to super market,
poetry is that priceless product that cannot be sold.
It is a vision behind every eye socket.
**
Poetry is a disease of every species in the world,
it is the smoke from a cigarette.
It is a poor man's dreams,
the steam behind vapour.
The endless waterfall and spring behind streams,
the ideal fat and fitness shaper.
**
In poetry I find calmness and clarity
my mind diffuses delusions and rejects vanity.
Life now has meaning; cleansing is poetry in its finest form.
Like salt, it flavours the taste of life,
and fuels me with energy and vividness, no more strife.
It's like it's closer to God because it is soul food.
It is good for my growth and spirituality.
**
I need poetry like I need oxygen,
like patience need penicillin.
Poetry is like a covenant where I go to confess my sin'.
This thing that I feel within moves me to express myself
in the best way I know how. I just pull it out of the shelf
and just put it on paper and expose its form.
But when it's all said and done feel free. no more storm.
**
Free yourself and get absorbed.
Connect with your mind and let it sob
letters and sink in its words.
