Poetry
Is more than just words on a page.
It comes with a sense of pleasure,
To the carefully listening ear.
The sheer physical, sensual, arousing feeling
Of carefully placed words
Gliding off your tongue
Into the air.
It's a way to see into other's minds,
To get a glimpse into how the gears turn,
How they view the world,
And all that is in it.
Poetry, when properly understood
Is the closest you can be to someone
In the deepest way,
Without ever meeting them.
Poetry is a way to explain the world,
Using only twenty-six letters
In hopes that someone, some day
Will see past the mere words
And look right into the deepest parts
Of your soul.
