POETS AND POETESS

In the world of long-lived the poets
where love bleeds deep into the hearts
of the careless minds,
Old Shakespeare's tongue made the stage
where love and bliss made a chose
to be so wit to its death...
How truly did he understand the minds of man?
Oh, you blissful poets of long ago
you planted your seeds in the minds of a new time
where love from the heavens
has rewarded your written words.
The instructive sage made the gray upon the stage
to make the scene so real
unblemished night made everything feel so right.
The acquaintance to the old and the anew
ancient founders of what makes the soul bleed
staged it all upon on the sea.
Tossing glass upon on a broken past
where so many didn't want to look back.
The intent to learn from the pain of life
discerning age, we all must face.
To the wits of your own fancies
embraced the good and the bad.
Let the poets of long ago, weather your heart and soul,
in truthiness of all elegance of taste
never lose your faith,
don't let your mind turn down
by the darkness of neglected riddled mind.
That can foreign a painful scene
in the way you think.
Lot the words of the poet of love
make the heart proud in turn,
Oh, you poet, and poetess
sing your happy or sad songs,
Let the words that have been written
banish the anger forever
when we see the heart brake when a loved one
is sent to its grave...
weather it with your poetic tears.
Oh, you who's eyes that are sore
for all the tears that have fallen,
let the poets sing to your heart from long ago
the will brighten your spirit
to get you through another night
in a world that doesn't seem to kind.
You claim your crown to what is right
in our true Gods eyes,
this is the fame of the stage we all crave.
Who hasn't sinned can you please stand up!
Can you drink from the cup?
Measure out your thoughts
before you write another line of lies.
Don't refuse what is true
that is the art of life...
that is why the poets write.
You must have frankness and style
that will last a lifetime,
No matter if you live and soon will die,
your words will still be written in the minds.
style up your poetic love
let the fair burn.
Don't mock what is good,
Don't be a hateful critic that held the view in jealousy.
read, and love what the poets write
they had also lived a hard life,
be fear minded in surveyed
fearless ones can be so much fun
where it comes to the skillful hearts
who can write up a storm?
So, read and love what a poet or poetess
is sharing to you in a broken-down world,
we are humans with a heart of age
let it be the prize of appraise
a poet's noblest clime no matter the time
so yield your fancy mind and listen to the rhyme
that comes from the poets' minds.
It takes courage to write your thoughts and pains
down to a world that is filled with hate
But it takes passion and love to want too,
People can be so shameful
casting stones upon the stage
of your own written page.
Where the scrutinizing eyes are always filled with rage.
Where the forged your hard work and then shame your good name.
A poet or poetess must stand strong and bold to a heartless soul.
These poets of long ago truly know.
So, keep your words written, never withdraw
never let them fear you!
If they do still write it all down.
Let them groan and tell their painful lies
Be the poetic hero and never give in.
This you will see in the warlike shores of their eyes
they just want to make a fight because they have no life.
Obey the poetic commands,
keep on writing to the world that hates you
and always keep the Golden Rule to the one who loves you.
Now, keep on writing until you get it right,
and just know a poets story has no end.
