The Flight of the Poem

The eyes do see, but they must not see
The mind does think, but it must not think
The heart does yearns, but it must not yearn
How can a smile be a smile when it is not a smile but a cry
Why can't the heart not talk
But if it talks will the heart ever listen?
How can I see you as a stranger when the heart knows you well
How can it be then that I live when I should not be
Is it not true that a poem makes the poet
How is it then that I'm still a poet
When the Poem is flying out of me
