Dear Poetry...

My poetry, my life...

Dear Poetry,

You have such an attractive nature

That only I was attracted

From the whole family of mine;

         You created imagination in my mind

        And words from my heart

        Began to shine…

You became an intimate friend

With an excessive attachment

Through a long-cherished bliss;

        And finally bonded me with soothing words

        That made you my hobby and madness

        Which I never want to miss…

In my sad times, you were the only thing I chose

I desired to pen you down

To reduce my sadness;

        During my happiness, you were the most liked thing

        Which helped me to describe

        The reasons for my gladness…

You are the only way

Through which I can express my feelings

May it be joy, anger or emotion;

        You are the only place

        Where I find peace

        In times of alteration and depression…

You had been the medium of my friendship

Which was capable, wonderful, admirable

And perhaps the ever-memorable;

        You are the rare talent hidden in me

        Which makes me unique among all

        And also you are the reason making me adorable…

Seasons seem to be so enjoyable today

And the credit goes to you, of course!

You made my vision something rare;

        Today the flow of water speaks me of it’s journey

        The spark of sun encourages me to defeat darkness

        These are the reasons you are under my care…

It’s never enough to thank you

You live in my heart, mind, soul, hand, eyes

And also in my imaginations, since years;

        Therefore when I imagine myself without you

        And read about my lost friendship through you

        My eyes get filled with tears…

You have become my new way of living

And gave me a new level of destination

As you have changed my thoughts’ type;

         Your description will never complete

         So I thank god to have given me such beautiful

         Talent, friend and also life…

This is a fine dedication. Most of us take our talent for granted. Life would have been difficult if we did not have the words to let out our thoughts, our emotions and our fears.
Nicely written.

Your poem is filled with many examples of how poetry is a friend & confidante to you. Details bring writing alive, so yours is filled with life & visions & feelings. Many original thoughts, such as: "my hobby and madness" (love contrasts) . . . and "the medium of my friendship" . . . this last quote reminds me of how awesome it is when someone writes a poem just for you, it's the most special feeling in the world. Clearly you have an ongoing affair with poetry . . . & these same things could be said for God or one's spiritual faith.

Thanks a lot for the wonderful review ma'am... I appreciate your words...
And of course 'its the medium of my friendship' which brought me and my friend into a relation of best - and we became best friends... Thus, poetry is really my madness, in which I lose as well as find myself...

[barleygirl]

Love that: "Lose as well as find myself" . . .

Writing can give a pleasure to feel the bitter taste even and perhaps it makes us realize to feel every aspect of life with a different light.It does not demand any talent or charming quality but only listen the unspoken words of heart. and only those people who find it at perfect time , have the chance to fetch the pleasure from the life that is ahead.
Lovely tribute!
Many thanks for sharing :)

Amazing use of description for my favorite topic.
"Today the flow of water speaks me of it’s journey
The spark of sun encourages me to defeat darkness
These are the reasons you are under my care…"
Good words make us find better places and make the mind know peace. I enjoyed the complete poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
