No Poem Makes Sense

At the touch of something divine, 

A mere moment assumes new significance, 

Yet, basking in the glorious world, words, 

Words diminish the new meaning, perchance, 

ashamed of their own nudity


A poet's words are often a vain attempt, 

To fit an entire world in verse, 

For to freeze time requires more than rhyme 

To paint a moment requires more than canvas 

In each poem are just jumbled words 

 

No perfect poem ever makes sense 

If it does, then it isn't a poem 

No one is obliged to understand a poem 

Many were composed by poets high on drugs 

And the rest battling internal demons
