THE POEMS I WRITE

The poems I write
Are not just for you
But you see them first
That much is true

They are sometimes chirpy
Sometimes blue
At times fiction
But paint pictures true

Of scenes of horror
Sorrow and pain
Or a buxom body
Transparent in rain

Of nature and love
And feelings tender
Lovers who join
In sweet surrender

The poems I write
Will tell you how I feel
And my need to share
Isn't it part of the deal?

That you spend your time
Reading what's there
Some laughter, some tears
And tales hard to bear

You get lost in some
Some open your eyes
At times you are cynical
They all seem like lies

It is kindness that makes
You read them through
At times you imagine
They were written for you

The poems I write
Are not my own
They come from within
A source unknown

So ask me not
Why I write them or for who
If you are reading them now
They are for you.
