A Poet's Heart
By cre
Disgusted,
As the dirt clings
So far below, yet
Not a world removed
I often cringe that I must share
This very air
With you.
Perhaps,
You see yourself a snake
And pride your cunning mind
Relishing as prey
Those you do malign;
Though as for me, I must confess,
I see your greed
As more a trait of swine.
I wonder
That you fail to see,
How very seen you are.
Muddy, murky puddle
Don't you know?
You will never be a star.
You pretend where pretense dies,
For you cannot steal a poet's heart.

poets are thieves in a way ... because by the time the person is done reading the poem we really do steal their hearts ...

I hope this poem gets alot of attention. Especially, with the recent happenings. Last two lines sealed it perfectly. And you're right, they may steal our words but never our essence. :::OLd

This is cunning....under cut and I'm all too happy not to be on the recieving end! It's this thick cloud of contempt/disgust all smoothed out and slapped on the person. Very clever...very poetic with beauty as always.~JMDW~

The last two lines of this brought the message home with a bang. Hopefully someone will think twice before playing ripoff artist from now on. ~Urban Shipwreck~
