One Life To Live: Don't Fall For The Words

There are emotions

Undefined and unnamed

And feelings so abstract

Even dimensions cannot capture

But there's still a desire

To let that essence percolate

So they weave with heart

A sentiment

Which even words can't fathom

Poetry, they call it...

But all they see are words

Don't fall for the words

For they are but just a tool

To create an approximation

Of a dimension

That may lead you to feel the emotion

Not of the poet

But of your own

That you might have suppressed

From time unknown

Don't fall for the words

If you wish to know

The poet's sentiment

And the dreamy universes they sow

For words are meant to hide

But pretend to show

Poems encase a cosmic weave

Of thoughts, whims, and notions

That exist and rest

Beyond the "normal" comprehension

So, don't fall for the words

For the poet's heart

They will never know
