Poetic verses flow through the <br />Warm blood pumping within my veins <br />They invade my mind with words that <br />Explode inside my scrambled brains. <br /> <br />Wild metaphors and similes <br />Free my thoughts from their deep, dark cage <br />All my private feelings laid bare <br />Upon the pallid, once blank page. <br /> <br />Poetic prose throbs in my heart <br />It’s fierce pulse falls from my nib <br />It contracts right through me just like <br />The breath that lays beneath my rib. <br /> <br />Words of beauty burn in my soul <br />They always set my pen alight <br />With language that makes me feel as <br />Free as a bird in fearless flight.<br /><br />J.A McManus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poetic-verses/
