Thoughts
Wavering and distressing.
Pain
Piercing and jabbing.
Emotions
Supple and vulnerable.
All of them find refuge
In my outpouring poetry;
I soak my dry words
In the clammy pool of my musings
A poem is born
And I feel liberated.
Our love
Soulful and ageless.
Our separation
Sour and Stinging.
Our story
Eternal and unforgettable.
You are there
In every verse that I write;
As muse or as memory,
It's you who make me a poet.
Feeling you closely again
Is the joy of writing poetry.
Linking this poem to Midweek Motif: The Joy of Poetry
No doubt the power of poetry allows one to express and let out their emotions - their soul at ease.
