POETRY IS LIKE MUSIC

Poetry is like music, it influence the inner thoughts of a man

It's the unsung words written in the heart of every man

There is a voice unseen which speaks to you and me

The same way the atmosphere submerged the body and mind

It flows in the vein and run through the brain

It sees through the heart, but the eyes sees only when it rain

If you listen, you'll find out the heart talks to you every second

Sometimes it whisper to your ears to ascertain you have heard

Just like music poetry is the feelings lock inside

It's the heart trying to tell the world that everything will be fine

Poetry is the heart wanting to share what she sees through you

She sees the fear and hate the world is going through

She sees the love and joy of a man and a woman in full

She understand the emotions of a mother to a son

She is nub because you never took time to listen but let her trust run

You are occupied with the burden of a world you can't influence

You never talk to her about the break ups, disappointments and pains 

She has always been with you, for she understand what you are going through

She wants you to trust her so she can also trust you

You've got to listen to the voice of the night and the silence of the sea

Listen to the wind, you will find there is a voice hidden inside you and me

For poetry is an unspoken word that wants to be free
