Oh Poetry!
Location
Frustration and anger and depression
all bottled up in a glass bottle I tossed in the river: Adrift
You got the bottle and wrap it up in a soft blanket
Then you sprinkle petals of roses
on it. Sang a lulaby to it: Ease
You opened the bottle on a windy day
and the secrets I shared with you
through the bottle are now blown away
only to become a memory to me
and a story to you: gone
Gone are the things i held in
me. blown away and never to be
held in by me again. Well at least
that was what I thought until the
memories trigger. Then i wrote to you again.
singing, screaming, crying, shouting
"Oh Poetry! Save me again and again
by thy consolment! For thou art the solace
of my sadness. Thou art truly one of the solace of my sadness."
To the part of me that was shamed for
no or illogical reasons. You make me feel
as if they're perfect: embrace
You've taught me to embrace them all
