The Poet



The poet wears his heart on his sleeve
while all the chambers leak

Sonnets, prose, and verses bleed
It ills the poet weak

The heart's a thumping rhythm drum
The beat composes time
But when the music tangles love
The heart calls on the mind

The mind in thought consoles the heart
The conscience heals the vein
But it hungers for the beating drum
To pump love to the brain

Dependent Mind, you need your Heart
Don't let them see you show it
Lock all the chambers to preserve
The secrets of the poet
