POETRY

Majestic as a tiger

she is

winding through the grass

add love and war

philosophy - religion

physics and geometry too

let them rock n’ roll together

and you’ve got poetry

Name a state of heart

or head

and she will take you

for pleasure and pain

are only words

decorating the pinnacles

of your mind

anything’s possible

with a few clever lines

when you’ve got poetry

Stalking through the grass

she moves

hunting for a convert

the time has come

no place to run

open your eyes

and read the fireworks

it’s only poetry
