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.

that four letter word

ah the four letter word
that makes you feel
such a plethora of emotions
from esctacy to meloncholy
from joy to jeopardy
a myriad of feelings
a conglomeration of moods
ah all for that four letter word

they make films about it, write plays on it
sing about it, dance about it
laugh about it, cry over it
live for it, die for it
change yourselves
in a quest to find someone,
lose yourself over it
ah the things they do
and the things they say
the things they hope
the things they pray
all for that four letter word
