The new pieces of poetry
Like furniture, these pieces of poetry
are well polished
With the latest designs in mind, these
poetry marvels are fine tuned
To illuminate their specific purpose in
life and display their grandiosity
These pieces of poetry are not meant for
the royal table or the palace lounges
But they are crafted with the most
sophisticated people in mind
They are not just pieces of poetry to
chew inside the classroom of boredom
They are the pellets of medicine to take
during stressful situations
Or even to take home to your curious
children
These pieces of poems are magnificently
designed to sooth the inner soul
And inhabit the innermost cubicle of our
being
Just like vases of flowers, they are
displayed on the windows of the soul
To provide good vibes and release their
incredible sacred scents
These pieces of poems are not at all
crafted by artificial intelligence
Or the latest 3D printers
They are created from a rare substance
found deep in the womb of our existence
It is not their well-behaved manners that
decorate our minds
It is the radiance of truth in their
glittering eyes
Just like the stars from faraway realms
These pieces of poetry are a source of
beauty and companionship
They have sacrificed themselves to
alleviate our suffering and loneliness
Even in the darkest of hours, their light
shines bright
Not inhibited by the ferocious winds of
our time, these poems give us hope
To dream and to hold courage in our
hearts
To exude the love inside our being
And let our hearts glow with the spirit
of beauty, peace and happiness
