Appreciation of A Poet

There have been two sentences

Two sentences whose impact has influenced countless

Started many journeys of Happiness

Caused many endings in Humiliation

And in some way has touched every poet born after their arrangement

Every Poet has experienced that…

Roses are Red

In actuality they come in a ranged variation

of colors surpassing light’s typical reflection

but your petals equate to a rich Malbec

exceptional in presentation and aromatics

A simple breath amongst your aura

cultivating one’s soul in deep meditation

where I found myself creatively enriched.

Your stem elongated layered with thorns

that instill inspired dedication with

each individual prick made originally custom

like the fingerprints that grip it.

It is your color alone that relates us poets

while our experiences differentiate at each grasp

but we welcome the pierces that we attain willfully.

And…

Violets are Blue

Mixed with purple hues that emphasize

your authority and how regal your influence is.

Softer than your counterpart, being delicate

is your strength as you develop refinement

between those graced by your accompaniment

   and the words fashioned by your design.

I achieved depth in your garden where

emotions fasten themselves to understanding

a place where between the lines give life

to thought and one cannot rely on education.

You don’t learn how to feel but you may feel

while you learn and your stamen taught plenty.

Though the lessons may differ it is the teacher

who we all appreciate for the knowledge we obtain.

May You Both Bloom Eternally
