Bereft

Bereft: Then pen on... Note: The first line is part of a line I left Johanna on one of her poems and she liked it a lot. It gave me the inspiration to write this one...

 

 

 

Bereft/………………By Sami Khalil

Bereft: Pen on…

The Poem:

 

Bereft…Then pen on till the next storms of life

Heralding wind, rain, hail, sand upon terrains

Pen till ink spills out with blood, become lovers

Across somber passages, brushstroke of pains.

 

From there, earth rises to meet heavenly lights

Betwixt the lands of tremor, seas of tranquility

As soul’s canvases spell out answers to quandaries

Poet’s texts answer genesis of addled humanity.

 

Pen on till starry dust fills emptiness of dark rooms

Tracing queued walls of the heart… edgeless spaces

Embrace aching words carrying rippling worlds within

For when all crumbles, hearts compose new places.

You use amazing imagery to attempt to capture the profound moments in life, the ones that can't quite be put into words, but yet you manage to bring them to life.

Wow... the depth of this write wasn't at all what I expected. After reading the first stanza I was basically questioning what I had gotten myself into! You definitely caught me off guard and I absolutely love the transitioning imagery!
Pen on!

I connected emotionally with your words here Sami. You always write such beautiful poetry and then suddenly you go and break your own record. (If only other writers were like that...sure wish I was haha). Honestly though this is amazing so don't you ever change haha.
