Good question
When I put my pen to paper
My objective is to replicate
The ambiance of the surreal
And unveil its rare beauty
To those willing to listen
With each heightened verse
I introduce a new discovery
From the depths of my world
And outline my visions
My revisions
My desires
And my passions
(But on some days
I find myself at a junction)
Am I exploiting a supernal secret?
Describing the indescribable?
Doing it an injustice?
Or am I just procrastinating?
As I run down perfection
At the end of the tunnel
I realize why many of us write poetry
To add depth to our hollow souls
And to fill a connatural void!
