There Will Be Always a You

 

There will be always a ‘you’;

There will be always an ‘I’.

You will show

The poetic dictions and definitions,

I will go on with Wordsworth and beyond:

With the spontaneous overflow

Of powerful feelings

But not limiting the emotions

Recollected in tranquility

Like in the wilderness,

The land of the solitary reapers;

Rather in the chaotic coffee shops

Or in a station of metro.

 

You will be giving us meters,

Iambic pentameters,

I will be going straight and simple

With unrhymed verses and beyond.

 

You will be looking for well-set

Similes and metaphors,

I will mirror my heart the way I feel:

Like April

Is the cruelest month breeding lilacs.

You will be giving us rules

And I will always be the rebellious one.
