I Am # 03

Rating: 4.8


I'm not a poet
No poem I've written
I never try to write,
never try to sit beside the word,
never dare on it,
never try to hug it's diction,
never try to be closed to its fiction,
never try to love it;
but never hate to meet,
never make my pen to kiss poem's lip
never try to touch it in awaken;
never in depth dream or in sleep!

I do not understand the word of poem,
do not know its shape,
do not recite its map,
It is puzzling me, befalling I am in that
I hear it on fair audible stage where it is recited
Its bewildering thought plays a game fight
in my mind!
Kicks me it, leaves me in noise world!

The poets I've seen
never try to be closed to them
for great respect or shame!

I've heard -the poet
those who are in prophetic word;
that is the words are originated from farsighted;
The words come every time as long as they live
from unknown to known;
known to future born,
Poet writes all over
crowded to lone,
adorn to forlorn,
through introspection to outer vision.

But I'm not a poet
I have no power into me
to write the poem.
By writing poem none can Identify me-
‘This is a Poet'
By writing I just sweep
‘An inner inn' to see myself
So that I do not fall into oblivion abyss
For my discovering I come to poetic press

What makes a poet? I once heard a saying in Spanish that says that everyone of us has a little of a crazy and poet in us The poeta y loco todos tenemos un poco.

i admire that some poets write in English when their 'native language(s) ' does/do NOT.... [i think obviously].....include English. i shall finish reading the poem, but i 'must say' that i do have a lot of trouble trying to follow the grammar, which causes me trouble in understanding the poem.
