What Is Poetry?

The singularity of poetry A slice of all poems written Contains an emotion of life A combination of emotions at play Releases a sense of poetry A hidden voice within A guiding principle of poetry Pulls you deep into the darkest path Or brings you to the light Poetry becomes an unrealistic reality Woven in the depths of our emotional selves There we find an interaction of emotions with thoughts Interplay between emotions, memories and imaginations A bridge connecting reality and imaginations is erected Along the path of dreams and desire A wonderful road is built with courage and love A desire to reveal the unreal takes over your anxiety Your love for the truth propels you beyond the fear of the unknown Channeling you to the gates of peace Where poetry starts to appear within your calm mind A litany of words dreaming to escape the unrealistic world And paint the emotionally charged picture of the Soul At last poetry is created in our mind And written in the pages of the poet's eyes A beautiful but sometimes awful story is told From one Soul to another Poetry is the language of Souls.
