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.

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 crumble, hearts compose new places.

This last stanza sums up the entire poem. Poetry is the triggers for humanities endless walk towards a more beautiful existence. Definitely one of my favorites, dear friend.

profound and left me wondering who will read our eloquence when hope is gone except for the brilliance of the last line. New places, new readers, us classics, or will we be crumpled too? way well done. enjoyed very much. Barbara

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.
HATS OFF DEAR....WELL WELL CRAFTED....
