A view on personal poetry |
I am no poet. I know little of meter or rhyme. Whenever I follow the paths taken, I am left with rubble. Remnants of words lie beneath my feet; Together,they mean nothing. They may even rhyme, but they do not fit. Words are complexities of the mind- I write them, and forget them forever. I am no poet. My words for you, are nothing For me, they are a droplet of poison leaving my body; I am light with hope. Hope of clarity,the evocation of truth-a truth unseen. I am drained with each flourish of this pen, freedom,liberation sets in. It is the words of many poets which leave traces-no full picture. I am Saze,carrying copper wrists of memory. They contain memories the human mind often forgets. It's a penseive, which can take from me which I do not want. I am no poet- you say, What words does she speak? Why should I lay it out for you? I like cryptic. Mystery is what I intend. Speaking clearly is meaningless, even then you could not comprehend. I am no poet. I have the soul of a poet, the body of a Jane clashing daily to bring forth destiny. Each minute, each second is crucial; The alteration of many paths, the possibilities endless- the realities few. A poet only sees realities; It is what they make of it. A dreamer sees only possibilities,no more. Can we choose more than one? Is it not our decision? You say I am no poet. Wel then, what are you? Are you defined by a word? A title? An action? A voice? I may be a voice; I may be an action; I may even be a title. I am a poet without boundaries, without norms, without morale. Without fluidity, with grace,without beauty. I am with and without. I am not what YOU make of me. |
