The poet is the fickle heart
its back and front collide
all his heart and soul arrive
when their minds deride
For all their words they are blind

The poets soul creates a world
where it may never live
for all it wants is other ones
to exist in yesterday

Each poet is alone and done
As it sits under midday sun
and dreams of the new day

------------------
Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

Poe--
I think that the first stanza is the most true for me...great job!

"If you love something let it go...if it comes back to you it is yours...if it doesnt then it never was"

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.

The entire piece sings a melodious tune for me

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
