MUSIC
Poetry sounds sweet
with rhythm and rhyme
Simple words vibrating
with perfect beat in time
This music carried forward
by ear drums of prime
Awakens the brain
to a state of fit and fine
Which sets the sweetness rolling
in heart divine
A magic spreads moving
up and down your spine
The whole body responds
mystically in mime
In a state of intoxication
as happens savouring wine
Most free verse is outcome
of brain covered with grime
And leaves behind a taste
similar to sour limes
These tasteless versions
available dozen a dime
After reading
from mind it just sublimes
To survive its taste
you crave tea of thyme
Never ever making
your pure self pine
Like the sweet poetry
of rhythm and rhyme
Whenever read sets your
love strings to chime
