A Poet

This one just came to me..

You ask me what a true poet is

Do you know what I think?

There´s more to a poet

Than their tears and their ink

There is hope on that paper

With dreams in each word

You love then you hate her

Some letters are blurred

There is passion, there´s comfort

A moment preserved in time

Piece of a heart, piece of a soul

Between every line

All of the thoughts that can´t be defined

There is confusion and tension

Happy and fearful days

Not just paper and pencil

But a whole life on that page

There´s sadness, there´s strength

You live and you die

A poet feels content

But then the ink starts to dry

This is your best work! Absolutely love this! You hit it out of the park with the last stanza but these were my favourite lines:

"Piece of a heart, piece of a soul
Between every line "
