Poetry

Poetry,

has been there for me,

longer than time itself 

has existed.

Poetry,

was like 

My mother and my father

it was my whole family.

It was my only friend for a matter of fact.

Poetry was everything

My body yearned for

and communicated through.

Poetry,

has always been the rhythm in which

I live each day,

The Tempo in which

I breathe

Poetry

is my lover for which 

I make out to,

Poetry has gone inside me

doing miraculous work

And left leaving a mark.

Poetry,

is a friend with benefits

leaving me with bruises

to remind of our fights.

 It usually knows what's best 

And how deep on a piece of paper I can go.

Poetry, 

knows what's best

though heck I've 

tripped over poetry itself,

got angry

And kicked it.

I've broken up with poetry before 

though

We can never 

last 

more than hours 

away from each other

Poetry was the 

only thing 

that ran through me

body,

though my veins,

though my lungs.

Poetry 

is the air I breathe,

the blood I bleed,

the beverage in which I drink,

the man in which I'm in love.

For I am

all of those things

I mentioned and more.

For I am poetry and

therefore

I do not write poetry

Poetry writes to me.

Because of poetry 

It was as if I was baptized

I fell under a deep sleep

and emerged as a writer.

A writer without fear,

Without the intention of hiding.

A Writer without pain

filled with a new aroma

new dreams

filled to the brim past any optimistic line,

past any star that's ever been gazed upon.

And as I emerged

old feelings died off, barrier were forgotten about.

As I emerged

it was as if

I was born again and brought back to the current time

All with a new purpose.

A poet

that a now like a superhero

Secret identity,

two names

The whole shebang.

Dreams

that's never been dreamed before

emerged from its hiding place

and randomly 

showed up in my conscience.

They reproduced giving me

More than enough

Dreams.

Flooding my emotions

like a storm,

Taking my ambitions

And beyond

to new lengths of amazing,

New terrain of possibilities,

New uncharted stars, moons, and planets.

Taking me by the hand to heaven

Past my ancestor's town,

Past the glistening sea of tears

for which I've shed, 

a sea that I have dreaded seeing,

a sea that's built 

off of me for this is me.

Poetry is all I'll ever need.

Poetry

is my whole world and back

Cause poetry

has been my travel guide,

the wings in which I traveled on,

the guide to help get to my destination,

my final frontier.

Poetry

has woke me up

on the right side of the bed

eliminating the wrong side

all at once.

Eliminating obstacles, pasts

and corrupted truths.

Poetry has been poetry 

since poetry first called my name

Poetry

is all I seek

within each one, I speak to

Poetry

is for all I speak

For it is all that I am

Poetry and I

have had a long history

So I

hope

our relationship

Will last forever and never come to an end.

For it will last 

Forever

cause it is I 

Who is poetry itself

I do not write poetry 

Poetry writes me.
