'A Poem'

Poetry is like that chill you get when the cool breeze grazes your skin
when a memory, be it one filled with pain or joy plays in the back of your head
all you can do is dream with your eyes wide open,
the moment halts in your world while the time outside is busy
Faces, feelings, sounds, words is all you can see and feel
A moment which will drift no matter how much you try to stop
Letting go is all you can do... Let it stay on its course
Sail into that void you cant reach...
All it brings is a smile and a tear... to snap you out of the dream
Just to make you realize the time never ceases
Just like those papers boats, it sails away!

Ever wondered why the poet can't remember the poems he write?
It is because its like one of those day dreaming moments filled with a memory
Of a person, a thing, a feeling... It appears right before your eyes
Stops the times in the inside world,
Brings a smile and a tear... Inspires...Drifts away silently.

Once you are done reading a poem,
And are out of that dream...
You will fall in love with the racing time, again!
The poem will be forgotten...

A poem well composed doesn't require a regular meter and rhyme
All it takes is the ability to imagine, feel and be in it!
Be able to disappear into it.
Be able to Imagine and live in it!
