The Life Poetical

With words and phrases cast a spell so bright
Beguile the senses with such lyric charm
Through sonnet form or ballad so delight
That even hardened hearts must be disarmed
So musical the rhythm and the tone
To tempt a soul to deeper meaning here
To even turn the key to hearts of stone
Or make the greatest doubter yet revere
The power of a deftly spoken rhyme
Is greater than the message it contains
So now the memory thatΒ lasts through time
Ensures it is the form which best remains
You need no revelation then to say
The poet gathers words and starts to play
