POETRY | SELF | LIFE | REFLECTIONS | POEM

Poetry Is…

For everyone.

Poetry is music we play with the instrument of our voice.
It is the melody and harmony of life.
Propelling us upward and ripping us back down to earth again.
Poetry is the music of life, set to silence.

Poetry is everything,
Down to the smallest nothing.

Poetry is the magic of your mind.
Poetry is the brief second that slips between wake and sleep.
Poetry is the broken heart that chooses love.
One.
More.
Time.

Poetry is for the broken,
The betrayed,
The forbidden,
The masked,
The villain,
The lecherous,
The beast,
You,
Me.
Poetry is for everyone.

I don’t want my poetry to be a breeze across your skin.
I don’t want my poetry to be the perfect body of a woman.
I don’t want my poetry to be the tickle of a feather.
