– where does my poetry come from?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
when you have come to me here,
asking from where does poetry arrive,
i shall have you this known,

it's from the threads of a silk woven robe worn by a queen,
it's from the one who plays a flute up high from the mountains coveted in snow,
it's from the war screams of a king,
it's from the flames of a fire lit up for celebration,
it's from those meadows of spring that i dreamt myself in,
it's from that pond where kofi fishes swim,
it's through the icy flakes of winter,
it's from the kingdom of my mind where i am the empress to my words of wisdom,
it's from those dark dungeons hiding vicious secrets within,
it's from a heartbreak i never experienced or lived in,
it's from castles nestled in the skies,
it's from everywhere and nowhere at once,
it's from a no one like me to an everyone like you.
