I Want My Poetry to...

I want my poetry to take you on an unexpected journey

on a weightless flight

where there is no room for slow moving souls

who have no destination

so follow me.

I want my poetry to be your traveling companion

where the only music playing

is the sound of urban air rising from beneath your feet

as you listen

so dance with me.

And when this voyage is over

I want my poetry to leave you

wanting to write your own story

before the dust settles on this path

for others to follow

after you have walked with me.
