Soul Staring

E.L.

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.
