Ikigai

I love to describe people and places and things through my poems,

I describe my emotions letting them flow through my words.

I am always under poetic influence.

I live my life depending upon poetic validation,

On a Sunday morning when I wake up in your arms

and look at your peace filled face, please don’t expect me to rest that Sunday

for I will be busy making, writing and creating poetries about you.

I will be busy describing every detail of you,

and I won’t ever mention your name.

Because you are mine to keep,

and people often fall in love with the names in the poetries,

nor will I write my name, because I want “US” to be anonymous.

I am poet, known to the dark words of poets and poetries.

And I do not intend on introducing you to this dark,

for you bring light in my life.

When I come back home and my dog jumps on me,

I feel at home.

And all I want to do is describe my emotions ,

Describe the moment through my poetries,

and again I won’t mention my name;

for I want to keep this moment inside my heart,

locked up in a tower like Rapunzel.

For I am a poet and my emotions flow through my poetry,

the world will know who you were and what moments I lived;

But I will never let the world recognize me.

For I want to keep it all inside my heart,

locked up in a tower like Rapunzel.

For I want to stay hidden from the world,

with my Eugene,

locked up in a tower like Rapunzel.
