PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

if I am never published

it does not really matter

to me anyway

for I write only for God

and my so preoccupied self

(well, and an occasional possible reader)

of what

well

for God, I praise

and for me

perhaps I belittle

but mostly I only wish

to better understand

so the poet, in her way

explains complex concepts to

the layman

and the layman happily takes the credit

for all the knowledge attained

being me

is like

realizing one's own

schitzofrenia

but always having the correct medication for it

at all times

I am so enrapt with words

they are my tireless dance partners

and I,

their not so beautiful bell of the book worm's ball

so eager to get in their every dance

before the band packs up and goes home........
