2 Poets to Poets: Why We Write

Our precious emotions
Fuel the gift
Of poetic expression
Transforming into spirit
Genuine thoughts
Planted in hearts
That seek
Soft retreats
Into the mind
Rendering time
To teach
Granting sight and clarity
To the blind & blurred
Articulating words
So many earnestly
Desire to speak
Is definitely no
Easy feat
But we do this
Because we
Passionately believe
It’s a necessity
To show the human spirit's
Stance
When dealing with
Issues
Of the heart
Conveyed within
Our poetic expose
Which has many
Thinking
Feeling
Exploring
Adoring
Our messages
Which are so hard to be
Ignored
And
Yes
This is our vocation
Putting paper to pen
But its more than
Just an responsive
Action
It
Is
Indeed
Our Life! ….
A life of responsibility
And convictions
Standing in bold ink
Changing the world’s conditions
Giving into no resign
Until releasing minds confined
Carefully crafted
Words on a canvass
Like an artist’s brush strokes
Painting words that provoke
Feelings like music
Of sounds and lyrics
Words beautifully sculpted
And carefully constructed
Displayed in the museums
Of the hearts of men & women
Thoughtfully shared
Unconcealed and bare
Like newborn babes
Innocent and unashamed
Sweet & untainted
Politically unacquainted
Pure passages of honest
Artistically flawless
Poetry
We bless you with
This gift
From 2 poets
To all poets
