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.

in class today

a subject too close for comfort
the truth that i tried so hard to avoid
was thrust upon me in class today
the feelings i tried so hard to hide
the tears i buried deep inside
were breached in class today
the looks of pity i didn't want to receive
and the helpless faces i didn't want to see
englufed me in class today
the part of me that i didn't want to reveal
the wound inside that just won't heal
was cut open in class today

the thoughts i fear the most
put in the medium so dear to me
just the thing i didn't want to happen
my soul was stripped in class today

BIG HUG.
this aint pity, i knw exactly how you feel. that clever poet just wrote down what has been going on in my mind for many years now ..its just amazing how peoms can take you to another level..

one minute you were tired of business studies, next minute all pent up emotions break over your control.
sigh, i guess thats why we love and hate poetry so much.
and why the hell should that das female write poetry so touching ? huh?
