The words are her best companions
It gives life to what she is feeling
Some things are left unsaid
So through the words, it will convey
What should have been said.

When a poet is hurt
The words are her comfort
She can name those emotions
Raw, passionate, and alive
The paper would have been the witness
Of her internal struggles.

When a poet is happy
The words are her celebration
The feeling, the place, or the person
She wants to savor into memory
And preserve like a nostalgic feeling
Of what once happened is real.

When a poet is sad
The words are her tears
Helping her get over the pain
It would have taught her a lesson
The experience can be excruciating
Of the encounter that eventually passed.

When a poet is in love
The words are her reflection
How romantic time could be
For two hearts that are in unity
And giving it all
Of every fiber of her being for bliss and eternity.

What a poet is, she is a master of words
Weaver of tragedy, tells the most enchanting spells
She may recall memories, she might also cause a storm
She could also kill using words
She could build a castle or even an empire
When people fail her
It's the words that give the solace
The tranquil after the mess and ache
The equinox after epiphany and grace.
