I Am a Poet

I Am a Poet

I am a poet

I let the rhythm flow

I let the beating of my heart

tell the story of my soul

I capture life at its essence

paint its picture with words

caress the cortex of your brain

with the lines of each verse

yes I am a poet

just doing my best

to share this God given gift

cause I know that I must

follow the dream

that I dream

be the me

I am supposed to be

for I am a poet

I live ~ I breathe

poetry

every thought from the heart

ends up poetic prose

why I even speak in rhyme

without conscious thought of why

cause

I am a poet
