No bitterness to spare

A poetess without any inspiration, surely that's worse than death?

My shadow deserted me one day

And my poetry failed to write

I could but use lips to pray

And hope for hope bright

 

 

Pieces of poetry left forlorn

Looking sad and undigested on paper

Tear smudges would adorn

What time only corrodes later...

 

 

Wonderings of the ancient world

And history is so accursed

Wisdom can never ever be so pearled

Drowning watercan be immersed.

 

 

Insane thoughts only fill my mind

The brain has no power here

If I was searching for what I find,

I would have no bitternes to spare.

Author's Note

Well, I really did not find inspiration one day... And that kind of gave me inspiraation to write this.

Don't feel bad dear poetess for we all experience our writer's block and then we become frustrated. Some are mild , some are severe. Prayer is good like you said, meditation on life , find inspiration in nature and people ... Even the negative can be one not just the positive.
Well penned piece...:)

*smile* ~ Well, I thank you for that encouraging comment. That was actually the first time I had ever felt the writer's block, and thankfully, I haven't experienced any more than that... In some ways, it is inspiring..
And you sound real clever, and I appreciate the read;-)

[Sami Khalil]

A search , in another plane,slipping through the shadow of the rain,the prayer found its queen, handed the request,to pass on to paint the sky and a new star was born go "shine Krithika !"

Woah, that was somehting, thanks...
Taking into the considerable amount of time to get my name's spelling right, I think you should just call me Arya... That would be my pen name;-)
