A poem is not merely a rhyming line
For a moment, it makes me yours
And you, mine..
It doesn’t just state “me”
Or that “I can express”;
It says “Listen to me, I can’t suppress”
It isn’t just a statement
Or a list of emotions
It’s a feeling…
To be felt and summoned…
It’s not my reflection
Or me
It has its life in different forms…
For thou and for thee..
It’s special every time you read it
It’s just for you and just for me
For those who don’t relate to it,
Its sheer cacophony!
A poem is not merely a rhyming line
For a moment it makes me yours
And you, mine..
The Happy Prince
