I Write

CATEGORY

life

I write because I like to, 

even though half of what I write,

may not come out right, I still do, 

especially at night, 

when all is peaceful

and quiet...sometimes.

I write what I see, how I feel,

and what's on my mind, 

I write to ignite the flames in the hearts of those

whose love has been extinguished by unfaithful matches,

I write between the sheets where souls copulate,

and the streets stay lit.

I write love poems, lifepoems, even erotic,

I write to escape the captivities of pain I've lived for years,

I write to dry away the tears I've cried,

I write to dead my fears.

I write to ventilate my troubles

that I have kept clogged up inside,

I write to tell stories, every poet has one,

but none have heard mines.

I write because it's in my blood,

it relaxes me, 

I write because

I love poetry.
