Every poet has an inspiration and my inspiration is Maya Angelou. I like her poems because I can relate to them. She is so creative when she writes and to me it seems she writes from her heart and that's what every poet is meant to do. Here is one of the many poems that I like by her:

Touched by An Angel, by Maya Angelou

We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight

live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple

and comes into our sight to liberate us into life.

Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies

old memories of pleasure ancient histories of pain.

Yet if we are bold,love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity

In the flush of Love's light we dare be brave

And suddenly we see that love costs all we are and will ever be.

Yet it is only love which sets us free.
