WHAT POETRY MEANS TO ME

 

I have not sent you flowers or a card nor
a letter or an email or made a telephone call

Have not invited you to a movie or shared a meal
Yet I've known for sure what you mean to me

Yes, my beloved "Poetry" you are forever mine
I know you shall always stand  the test of time

For you, live so deep - within my heart
Wherever I may be - we are never apart

You halve my sorrows, you wipe my tears
always there to embrace me, warm and near

You hold my hand and walk the sunset with me
banish the emptiness in my heart and talk to me

I find life's meanings hidden somewhere in your lines
and seek refuge in you in painful, trying times

This is what real intimacy means - in you is the
venue where my heart, mind and soul forms a team

Your thoughts and words soothe ruptured wounds
that the world sometimes bestows at will

Life would be so much poorer if it weren't for you
Its so meaningful - when surrounded by you

Yes my dear Poetry, you live forever in my heart
You shall be with me when my breath departs...
