People, Please Pour in Some Adoration and Awe
I cherish the magic of words that shows a reader
how I am in love with trees, sunsets, and sunrises,  
 
poetry is my potent love and my labor of love,
yet people say poetry is one of the most
uncelebrated and underfunded artforms,
a pull-down poetry syndrome does not 
in any way mean I am not enamoured 
of poetry and its power and its role in life, 
 
for without poetry how would I sing, swim 
in the ecstasy of the wild and nature?
   
for without poetry how would I hear
the voices of the deeps, brooks, birds?
how would I explore the landscapes,
the human condition, the weather 
patterns, the finery, controversies,
 
and complexities of life?  
poetry, I pardon humans,
I am here to bare realities 
for, I think,  they err 
on fostering fairness 
as they fail to give
you what you merit! 
  
lovely, lively, fathomable, fun poetry,
please pave way for the perfect pour
of my thoughts, blood and emotions
so that I may not long to escape 
the insanity that rules and marks 
your words, world, and wisdom
and call them a misplaced family 
for in your oddness and boldness 
is my safety, soundness, and sanity,
and where I see the world through
the prism of probe and preparation, 
products that baptize me with visions 
  
and hence it's my superb, stable family!
  
  
please profound, philosophical poetry 
 
bond me with your voltage and verve,
protect me with your prime punch --
 
your profundity, power and precision, 
  
bond me in a bold and intense fashion
    
as I savor each page of your digest and devour 
each word, each sound, each line and each stanza,
 
allow me to unwrap your splendor which empowers me 
to capture all the magic and wonder of your ageless urgings, 
let me seize my hot and much-loved cup of Ethiopian tea
and nestle under a comfy blanket and be transported afar!
