What is Poetry?

It’s the heart that skips a beat It’s the first steps of a baby's feet. It’s the news of love from afar It’s being anywhere you are. It’s the radiant shimmer in your eyes It’s my fears you lovingly subside. It’s all the music that captures your heart It’s longing for you when we’re apart. It’s the gentle rain touching my soul It’s the dream of us before we’re old. It’s the scent of jasmine in the air It’s the lavish look within your stare. It’s the ocean’s ebb and flow It’s how, my dear, I love you so. It’s every love cliché that never grows tired It’s every burn of my heart’s desires. It’s the spoken silence in your words It’s the tender sentiments I wish I heard. It’s making love beneath a single bright star It’s the tale of a butterfly who flew so far. It’s making wishes upon a voluminous moon It’s knowing your love will be here soon.
