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.

Creative catharsis: the outpouring of a soul.....

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. So true and well spoken. I can't thank you enough dear poet. Keep us mesmerized with your writes...:)...................

Masterpiece from the poet who lives by Pen and who loves it more than a Samurai loves his Sword.

[Rita L. Sev]

That first line is killer advice, and the rest of the piece flows wonderfully from that sentiment, Sami. I like this from the end, too: when all crumble, hearts compose... Sounds like the wisdom of the ages to me!

In a strange way, I found this poem hopeful. Though writing to relieve pain, it is in between the challenges of life that we all experience, that real joy, love, peace live. Love this line: For when all crumble, hearts compose new places. Also like the imagery of pen on.
