Safe to Say

Safe to Say                    by Sami Khalil

-Safe to say!

My scribblings sanguinely clasp the tenebrous cores

Embrace the clouded sagas

Eschew not the polished mirages.

With withered eyeblinks

With ashen hand gestures

With vanished years, they drape the sunsets

Caress the slow rising dawns

Chisel love’s drizzled moments.

They have defining tinges, stimulating the barren shades,

the lush sprouts.

No tantalizing blanks are left, no glossy starlit chasing resplendent parchments, no kisses left tickling the senses’ emporiums.

 -Safe to say!

My scribblings are therapy

For the hermits in marbled silences

For the famed in radiated lights

For the ailing spirits that wander the unmapped havens.

-Safe to say!

My scribblings are…newborn musings from the frozen wild!

Excuse me for laughing, but just below your poem there's an ad with this line in exactly the same font size as your poem, so it looks like part of the poem: "How to Cleanse the Liver" . . . I got a kick out of imagining that the writing journey probably also involves cleansing the liver. I know I got a huge burst of clean liver right after I wrote "Merca the Beautiful" (yesterday). Anyhow, your poem is exactly that outlandish, which is what I love about it. I get so tired of all the boring ways writers describe the writing journey. I want something with panache! I want to be taken on a journey when a writer tells me about the writing journey & that's exactly what you've done here! (((HUGS)))

Safe to Say ... this is great...as is your scribbling... wonderful write with mesmerizing imagery. I was enthralled and confused...but emotionally, I was entranced. That my friend is the key to creative writing. Never thoroughly sure if you were referring to actual scribblings ... your writing ... or life, but in the end it didn't matter because you left me wondering and satisfied. Terrific poem Sami and magnificent scribble.

[Sami Khalil]

OMG! You are indeed a great poet and writer. You describe your emotions so well and your thoughts. Reader can take it either way for it can be for both as you wonderfully state. I can't thank you enough . Will visit soon.

You know I just had to read this piece again. Your poetic expression is quite superb and some quality internal rhyme too Sami. Well worth a second visit. All the best to you. Your scribblings (your definition not mine) are tops.

Scribbling scan be so much to so many people. They tell our tales and many times our words and emotions are so strong that other people can feel them as if they have went through the same issue. I like be the details and the idea of this poem.

Whoa! So true sir and well conveyed. I can't thank you enough for the time and effort. Will visit soon. All is fine.

"For the hermits in marbled silences
For the famed in radiated lights
For the ailing spirits that wander the unmapped havens." - yes, yes, yes ... :)

"newborn musings from the frozen wild!" - as well they should be, this is where poetry originates and should take us - "For the ailing spirits that wander the unmapped havens." "safe to say" your poetry has "chiseled" its way into my thoughts and spirit this fine day. was enamored from start to finish. your words grab, hold and never let go. scribbling indeed - this is where revelations are born and oh that accompanying pic. bravo ... :)

[Sami Khalil]

Whoa! I'm thrilled dear poet and friend to hear that in relations to this poem. We do relate and inspire each other. To be honest, I was in a strange mood when I wrote this. Hard to explain. Thank you so much. See you soon.
