Am I?

Am I poetic in my flow?

When the bloom of my lips open like a flower

and the words that I speak flow like dew dripping from its tip

Does it look like poetry?

When my motion around you draws a gentle breeze

and the chill is just enough to awaken the senses to alertness

Does it feel like poetry?

When the melody of my voice lands on your ears like Coltrane

and the sounds all land in sharps and flats perfectly aligned in a stanza

Does it sound like poetry?

I long to be poetry – because to me poetry is life

I want to allure, awaken and accent your life, like only poetry could

If I am poetry – then the flow will be natural to me

Am I?

Am I poetic in my flow?
