When Love Is Only Poetry

   
Only by chance that to came to write  
Haphazardly inking black on a white  
That by instinct, i never had a gift  
I just left myself wandering adrift  
   
I moored in my teens on a harbor  
When i first put on a poetic armor  
As a young lover i'd then flatter  
The gorgeous girl like a valiant rider  
   
Like a child, and stil am i born nervous  
Maniacally willing to reach my purpose  
Whatever in my way, shall fall and crumble  
But for a woman i love, i'd easily stumble  
   
And yet, too much Romance took its toll on me  
For seeking Juliet in this world is just Poetry  
With dust left behind, i fled into the mountains**  
Seeking relief in valleys and sprinkling fountain  
   
The balm in Nature has cured so many sickness  
From broken emotions, failures and emptiness  
   
Since this is the way of my fate  
I shall glean crops before it's late  
Thank God to be endowed with a pen  
Strive to show the best that i can  
   
For this life is only passing whim  
A sweet memory from a vernal dream  
Leave behind a green word to grow  
Poetry is a boon given only to a few
