The job of a poet.

Is to write

but not just to write

But to tell a story

but not just that

It is to fill your heart with emotions

and confuse your mind with dreams that can't possibly be real

and to drag the rhythm

of each line

in a slow dance

tempting you to take a bite

just like Eve did

The job is of a poet is not just to pull at your heart strings and play you a song

but to be the siren that pulls you under the waves

gasping for another line

another breath

until you don't know your right from your left,

who you are or where land is.

That is the job of a poet.
