Poetry

A Poet doesn’t die

A poet writes

Not with a pen

But with a spirit

A part

Of his soul

Is trapped

In the verses

And verses

Enshrined

In the minds

Will remain

Heart stops

Mind dies

Spirit flies

But a poet

Doesn’t die

His soul may rest

But his heart

Lives on

Don’t Compare

There are flowers

Of every hue

Each with its

Own beauty

Rose can’t be a lily

Lily can’t be a rose

Every flower is lovely

In its own way

You can’t compare

Apples with pears

Every fruit has its

Own taste and flare

A flower doesn’t think of

Competing with the other

Just they bloom

I am a poet

Don’t compare me

There is no one like me

My verses may not be

Beautiful like yours

But they are

Their own kind

Of beautiful
