A Poet

If a poet be whom I am,
what shall happen when thoughts dry out?
There would be no breath in me.

If written word defines whom I am,
then, I am a tree to be torn down
and tattooed with many writings.

Poetry is my way of expression,
a sweet release of thoughts and passion.
A poet is a definition of what I do, a title,

it's not whom I am.
