Poetry is Make-Believe

Poetry is Make-Believe

Raw, jagged emotions:
Poetry is make-believe.
Hope-flaming;
Tongue blabbing
Onto the white paper
Words unsullied by reality


Words unsullied by reality:
Poetry is make-believe.
Confession-making;
Breaking into soliloquy
Of unrequited romances
role-playing as two lovers


Role-playing as two lovers:
Poetry is make-believe.
Love-making;
Perspiring bodies
dancing to the rhythm
of raw, jagged emotions
