I can be a star that shines through your night and day
a painting that sticks on the feathery canvas
the radar to your ship, the enduring campus
the words that are so difficult to say
I can be the one leaf in windy seasons that never falls
but sticks with you till the very moment eternity calls
the beautiful melody that never ceases to sing
the serene filled drone which may never sting
I can be the careful and graceful bird that never perches
the unnoticed but concerned eye that always watches
the willing helping hand in your times of need
the much desired friend in need, a friend in deed
I can be every joyful and melancholic poem you've ever read
a roseate flower whose frail petals never fade
the green thick dense canopy to always bring you shade
the one who makes your twisted world a better place
I can be wide spectral smiles to colour your love locked face
A friend against foes, a kiss on your cheek,
Or a secret in your palm to hold you whenever you're weak
I can be more than just a phone call and text
a mechanic who gets the wreck of your broken Heart fixed
Or lifeless images of glowing eyes and tearful emotions,
and the eternal rivers of hope flowing within to Oceans
I can invent the technology to teleport you here
be the keeper who whispers sweet somethings in your ear
the destiny you've always wanted to have
I can make that dream lad you've always wanted to love
if only you give me a chance, and to the rhythm of life rise to dance
walk barefooted through thorns, I can take the bull by his horns
I can be the Madonna whose bloom conquers all seasons
and outlives eternity if only you understand my reasons

Easier Done than Said
A while ago I saw a picture of Emma Watson giving a speech as part of her job as a UN Women Ambassador. I decided that if I want to be as cool as Emma Watson and/or take over the world, I should learn how to give speeches. I joined a public speaking club called Toastmasters International.
My first speech will be an icebreaker for the group. I performed monologues in school. I don't know if that will help my speech-giving, or hinder it, but that's the nice thing about being a part of the club. Someone will critique me, and my speaking and writing should improve. I will post my speeches as I write them (you know, in case someone at TED likes my stuff).
In the mean time, keep writing poetry, and maybe enter a few contests as well. If you'd like something you wrote to appear on my blog, send them to me in an email!

Featured Poet: c.k. (@poeticpoison)
one, two, three, four
I declare this love a war
five, six, seven, eight
threading all our words with hate
nine, ten, eleven, twelve
we will sacrifice ourselves
thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, more-
let's destroy what we adore.
