Somebody told me that I couldn't compete...

But I believed that there were men like me
Believed in oddities, Conceived possibility
Dreaded normalcy, shredded thousands of pieces on papacy

For poetry was my robe, the garment garnered with glow, woe to the men that fill us with awe

For their floors seem to rise above their heads till they can't see the door through which their humility left

I pause, to catch my breath, they yawn, many things unsaid
I know, that the crowd has left except a little guy and the tears he shed

I smile, and he nods his head. My style, was the one he said, was the one! He said, WAS THE ONE HE SAID

I smile, for the one line she went back to read
I write, for the one time she gets a chance to see

Words and artistry stumbling into worlds, devoid of sophistry, hypocrisy and baseless hypotheses attempting to divine..

How the galaxies are stretched by the edge of my pen, only to rewind,
To see if I can do it again, can he do it again, will I do it again?

I'm blind, to the colours I would need to prove myself
My mind, satisfied with the two or three that stayed
Increase is my portion, I'm just delayed
Time will tell, if there really were mermaids

Unrelated, but time has taught me imagination cannot be debated
Whatever is, whatever will be all springs, from cerebral circuitry which springs, from a source undefined, which sings, of a source undesigned which many deny and others find hard to describe but time will tell, and the end is nigh

The END, is your heart dangling on the edge of space, The Void, of more nothing on earth can replace, below it, The Poet, line by line pushing you towards that place, I know it, I can't compete with what I know, I know it, that's not what my stage is for,
So flourish, it's a flower bed for the minds I nourish
I prune, every line watering the mood, every rhyme steadily consumed,
every notion spelling out the truth, every truth splitting into two,
both sides critically reviewed but
'only one thing cuts across for you'
When I start, I don't know when to stop.
