in my heart
in my soul
there burns a fire
where no fire should burn
with poetry

raging flames
word games
among the embers
there simmers
there in my soul
there in my whole
ther in that hole
in that part
that should be my heart
there it be
poetry

a flame
not of passion
not of love
it has no name
not reason
or time
only a season
that is mine

a passion
to fashion
words into rhyme
thru space & time
that's what it be
poetry

a passion
to rhyme
in 3/4 time
phrases & phases
hazes & dazes
that's what it be
poetry

to be a poet
to know it
& show it
to let it glow
to let it grow
let it flow
into to what it is
what it 'tis
philosophy
poetry

words
rhymes
ryhtmns
& times

to say
so much
with so little
brittle
thoughts
& memories soughts
a price to pay
to learn to play
with words & phrases
thru all the hazes
each one that comes my way

just a poet
who tries to show it
in poetry
yup, that be me

to feel My Self
to let you feel too
to know the wealth
of bein' happy & blue
that's true
that's what a poet
can do
that's why i show it to you

to heal old wounds
to feel the too soons
to bring
old memories back
to cut us both some slack
with poem & rhymes
to remember old times
with a smile & a grin
to begin agin'

to seek to find
to not be too blind
to search
to reach
beyond time
with words in rythmn & rhyme

to be a poet

to show it

to know it

i poet i be
i poet i see

to see thru the eye's
of all life's goodbyes
and all life's why's
and all life's try's

to see to be
to show to know
just how life can be

just how life can be

just how life can be...

with poetry
