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.

Comforting words my dear poetic friend, not so easy in real life, but it makes for stellar poetry.

'Betwixt the lands of tremor, seas of tranquility'

Seems to me that 'tween those spaces is where we do most of our living, When all crumbles it takes quite some time to embrace that light in one's heart again. Another brilliant brushstroke from your pen Sami...

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. May your poetry keep that shinning light on us and in its warmth may we delight...Grazie mille for all your support and encouragemets...Have a great one...:)..................

[Frieda P]

Ha I take it you don't agree with my sentiments, I still love this one ;-)

[Sami Khalil]

I do agree. Nothing is easy even for us poets in this stage of being bereft or others. It is a daily struggle until death. I was just praying for you because of gratitude...:).........

[Frieda P]

Oh good, someone needs to pray for me, thanks muchly ;-)

[Sami Khalil]

You can pray for me too...A good gesture for uplifting...( Do you like cursing instead...Just kidding...lol)

[Frieda P]

Haha, you're such a smartass, yep, see there, it's your fault I swore at you. ;-P

[Sami Khalil]

Your words roll off the tongue and as always cast the art as spiritual in composition.

"lands of tremor, seas of tranquility"

This denotes our extreme range of emotions as poets...

For when all crumble, hearts compose new places.

Great write penned with footing of naked reality, poets keeps nothing as private or secret, except at times pen names, and demographics, which means they are true friends of this universe, poems out cries for the world, strong message to pen on until you convert, all perils, loses, emptiness in to dreams, hopes, love, and acceptable reality to fragile mind, in nutshell poet says simply hang on , help is at the next stop or next door, and poet will pen on with his own blood till you are helped, enjoyed each lines

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. That was a poem in itself dear beloved one. Beautifully said and worded. You are talented indeed...Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and pen...:)...........

[Linda alexander]

Sami, does not matter, until I get my brain cells back and the colors, nothing makes me happy, glad you called me talented, that is only because you are too nice

[Sami Khalil]

No problem...Any time...:).............
