Poetry?

I'm not a poet
I'm just emotional
twenty-something emotions
those hit hard

I'm not a poet
only a sleepwalker,
my fingers burning to type
my laptop keyboard so well-lit
so I fall into the desire

I'm not a poet
I just whisper to a quiet altar called Hello Poetry
a fatal attraction
so I type
welcome to the cult
Where's my keyboard, I can't sleep

Sunshine and beautiful beaches
Bronze bodies
Water  flowing to the outer reaches
If I can't be there
I go there  in my mind

Santan lotion and margaritas
Sunset piers and waves crashing
If I can't be there
I go there in my mind

Music playing and lovers dancing
Having fun signing Karaoke
Friendly faces, people having fun
If I can't be there
I go there in my mind
And I can go there; anytime
Playing around with some lyrics. 1st draft 😃

You never know when you're going to touch someone
You never know
A kind word or a simple line
You never know
People come and people go
Leaving treasures they never know
When you find it; let it grow
You never know
You just might touch someone
You never know
Write On! Write On! It could be a song
You never know

A smile brings sunshine
A frown brings rain
If you're not seeing the rainbow
Try again

Life is articulated best
through poetry-
a grand tapestry
of the finest words
the acme of poignancy
meaning conveyed most exquisitely
akin to the deepest notes of a symphony

Pink cherry blossoms
petals fall softly like snow,
painting the sidewalks
