Do You Understand My English?

I heard that English is like Art  
You don't need the standards  
Personal expression is the Art  
 
Everybody speaks their own English  
But widely got the gist of its speech  
 
I am english poorly-armed  
Shamely feeling,  
Poetically disarmed  
 
I am so scared  
I look mistakenly wired  
Not an English Native-speaker  
 
As if i wear my hat askew  
So close your eyes gently  
 
On my stumbling feet as i walk  
On my awkward pen as i scrawl  
Riding with awobble tyre of my bike  
Grazing a herd onto a parshed land  
Trying to get milk from a male goat  
Or may be pushing the water upstream    
 
We learn by osmosis interaction,  
So give me more time and space  
Until i get the poetic assimilation  
 
As i strive to be up  
To the rhythmical,  
Rhyming common level  
 
But, truth is to be spoken,  
For the way my Eglish is learned  
For the little vocabaulary owned  
 
I can versify my written diction  
And with god's help and some gift  
i can even get the heaven's touch  
And express my feeling in words less  
That all i own in my humble stock  
Doesn't exceed a hundred words at all  
 
Playing with words is like chess game  
One move can make king and queen fall  
No towers needed, not any outpost  
Some clever tactic is the main tact  
With much spontaneity when moving forward  
 
But, as a worldwidely spoken  
English for me is the world's  
Most refined language.
