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.

what matters

it isn't the fullness of your lips
that makes me want to kiss you
it is the words that you speak through them

it isn't your well built body
that makes me want to hug you
it is the heart that lies within

it isn't the color of your eyes
that draws me towards you
its the truth and kindness they show

it isn't the softness or shine
that makes me want to ruffle your hair
it is those amazing thoughts that lie inside

coz it isn't for the handsome guy
that i fell
i fell for the beautiful soul
