A bird never has fame
Till his feathers fly on royalties hat
A poet never famous
Till his words spilt
From kingly lips
What has a bird
Wings of flight, he need not fame
And a poet's domain
Is his own spirit, never whispers his name
To be a poet, is to dreams
All things sane, make them never the same
And all insanity
He writes dark traces, his only sword
He'll taste of love and all its colors
Spirit that seeks mythic dreams;
never to be the same;
lost in some adventure, a true wanderer
A poet is a poet, is a poet;
creature of unknown mystique
Seeing,tasting and feeling,
through a sentient prism soul
