The heart beats fast, a gentle rhythm, my soul afire, my thoughts a-dreaming.
I am a poet, my words held high, my heart a-breaking, my mind a-scheming.
Yet...
Yet there is hope to break this dread,
For courage lies in what lies ahead;
A force of will, a spirit strong,
...
O'er the gloaming morn, hues of sapphire and rust,
The shadows of thought, clouding my trust.
My vision blurs, terrene bliss forlorn,
My sight obscured, in a blindness of mind forlorn.
...
'T'is a dolorous plight to cower in fear,
A phobic state that doth bring naught but tears;
For 'tis a malevolent malady,
A cruel malaise that doth run too deep.
...
O'er lit'racy's broad vista
Verbose lexicon runs deep
Vocab'lary's highest peak
Ascend'll to words steep
...
Veracious merriment,
Inherent in our camaraderie, o
Uniting us in a bond that's sacred,
Enriching our existence,
...
