others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

cognizance

As minutes turn into hours
As buds bloom into flowers
My doubts turn to fears
And my eyes fill with tears
I’m flooded with thoughts
I never thought were mine
I’m overcome with feelings
That I fail to define
I am consumed in them
My mind is in mayhem
I try to perceive. Analyze
To be rational and wise
Just as I disentangle the strands
And try to understand
They swirl into a mist
And then cease to exist
I search for my loss
But choose not to see
That what I lost
Is somewhere seep within me
