THE MECCA OF POETRY

I am the Mecca of Poetry

She is my wordy lover –

And, I am her pilgrim

I go inside her – Poetry

With expectations, hope

My soul will be rectified

I am the Mecca of Poetry

With the fancy tower,

That leans – straightened

I go inside her – Poetry

Taken by my pilgrimage

My path of strength

I am a scholar, a lover –

A friend, a loner, an icon

That is a Mecca of Poetry

Make me be more – Poetry

Make me feel more – Poetry

Poetry, you are my Mecca

I go inside you  – Poetry

With expectations, hope

My soul will be satisfied
