I am poem and poet May 17, 2012

 


 

(in response to one of her poems)

 I am not the poems I write,

all I do serves a purpose,

to inspire love or faith,

a scrounger, a miser,

a pathetic man

too scared to admit

what I feel

passing judgement

as other pass

judgement on me.

The art is in the sleight of hand,

The devious shell game

Under which cub

Does my real feelings fall.

All is lost in translation,

the real meaning,

 the sense of faith,

 the last fatal stumbling step

heavy cross on my back,

sentenced and condemned,

but not at all innocent

I am a poem and poet.
