Heuristic!

Once, the poet’s heart dampened and damaged.

 

Passing through literary whiskers,

descending to oblivion,

she came to the poet’s rescue.

 

She, who’s not associated with dishonest behaviour,

detained the poet in the litterateur’s dungeon,

feeding the poet with the author’s ‘cabalistic’ tendencies

cheerfully calibrated for mental consumption.

 

Making sure that the poet is destined,

she detached every of her activities

and detected and detailed for the poet

for a time so long like the season of poverty.

 

She’s impervious and imperturbable,

not impious and impish;

pride is not a member of her features

as many writers need exorcism

from the spirit of madness.
