Shade or Taste


 

To you it’s a matter of shade

or sometimes an issue of taste.

 

To me it is mostly a state of mind

running through my blood before my pen.

 

Do I care about what you see

or what you might hear?

Do I stop to look at you

or take a moment to reply?

 

Your eyes are my yard,

your heart is my card!

With a jot of a pen-

I will tear your world!

 

You may love me

feel free to bate me

but wait for me

to look at you maybe!

 

Poetry is my language

my safe haven, my luggage!

How can you engage

in matters within my ribcage?

 

Hop aboard my carousel

and I will teach you how to dwell.

Don’t expect to do well

just pick up your quill!

CNQT

Poetry is a form of passionate expression kindled by an impression unbound by public conviction. I write mainly from two genres : impressionism and symbolism. Choose me or leave me, I'm not a backup plan and definitely not a second choice! Not everyone likes me but then again not everyone matters. What matters is peace and the feeling of being content. Every person is a book, this is just the place to share some pages from my book. Peace!
