ANOTHER POEM
Well I talk through my words
They enrich others thoughts
They make me release my angst from my mind
Do they solve my questions?
No, not always but they fight my fear of failure
They shift the weight of expectation put on myself
With the love of the spoken word
I throw my inhibitions away
As I share them to all
My body dances with delight
As the poem builds on the page from my thoughts
And my story takes shape and size
All fears are forgotten as the focus is on.........
YOU the reader or listener to my story
You are my energy source,
The food that feeds my ingenuity and imagination
To create poems of substance
So I am told
They are funny, sad
But always with a positive centre
And a message of hope for you,
Whatever your situation
Cancer, stroke, sexuality
I will write another poem, bespoke just for YOU
So people can know your story with compassion and understanding, Be enlightened and educated
With something new
Because my words are from the heart
So each creation will never ever be JUST......... ANOTHER POEM
