Smoothly in mind

Tuesday,16th February 2021

 

If I can't become a poet

I shall not remain quiet

if that doesn't run smoothly in mind

how am I going to find my place?

 

I may not have a good education

I might not have taken a course at a known institution

yet I have the heart of human being

that tries to bring harmony for the people

 

I may not use metaphors

but can take readers

to the shore

without asking more

 

if the poet can reveal

and make feel

the pain of separation

it reminds us of the human relation

 

if you can translate

and relate

the impact of love and happiness

the poets can do it with a good smile on the face

 

you need a poet's heart

to start

with human feelings

and still remain as well behaved human being
