How I wish,

you were around,

to keep my feet,

upon this ground,

to clip my wings,

and whisper this…

Life’s a play –

protagonist,

don’t give up,

and don’t give in,

it’s just a game,

that no one wins.

Writing journal

 

 

 

 

 

 

The verses I write,

from events that I see,

might not be your,

cup of rosy hot tea!

 

Not being clever,

don’t write to impress,

not for the glory,

or the fame of success.

 

I like to connect,

to thrill and inspire,

I don’t write of love,

all that passion and fire…

 

My lines are quite plain,

not obscure or sublime,

just everyday stuff,

caught up in a line.

 

If I am lucky,

I might make you think,

to stop and to ponder,

just before your next blink.

 

I hope that you feel,

you could do this too,

so pick up a pen,

and give it a go!

The Poet’s Melancholy

Alas the poet’s sorrow,

I know it well!

Infesting, invading,

the melancholic mind,

destructively, saving,

our urge to write

stirring the soul,

to release and let go,

giving up, and,

giving in,

to inspirations, intuit.

Your only weapon,

pen, ink and wit,

to fight the foes,

with verse and prose,

with the words of a poet,

and the wisdom of the sage,

together we’ll haunt the universe,

with tears and hearts upon our page.
