Ah! Poetry
Stay with me I pray
Your company infuses energy
When I am Stupefied
By life's miseries.

O! Poetry
Hold me close
Hug me tight
Don't let me go
For I tend to stray
When I am away.

Dear poetry
In your warmth
I immerse myself in meters
And blank verses
Like a child in her mother's lap
Confident you won't betray.
