What Is A Poem?

What is a poem?
But thoughts too hard to express out loud,
Pictures of the imagination,
Groanings of the soul.

Each one paints a picture
Of the thoughts that set us free,
Of turbulence and solitude,
And perfect harmony.

Of one's desires,
Of longings past,
Of future dreams,
And past regrets.

Each one tells a story,
Each one feels the pain,
Heartache, joy, depression,
And not one is the same.
