I am a poet, I bleed words

World poetry day

I am a poet, I bleed words

My feelings rhyme, jumble

Just a metaphor away

A recipe for laughter

Yet sadness enlightens

The ehoes in gusty winds

Can your eyes hear my footsteps?

As I frolic in moonlight

Catching shooting stars

In my mind as I write.

Poetry is strength in unity

Not alone in bygone

sorrows of yesterday.

For in this community

Of sharing my poetry,

My life, we bleed together

Holding hands across the miles

Chasing ghosts in alleyways

Of our minds in empathy.

I write because if I don’t

I’ll die trying to breathe.
