I write to forget about
what I’m thinking at the moment
I write to remember
all my tendencies to forget
All of my habits are for my telic form
where I avoid becoming a relic of the bygones
They try to capture lightning
I try to assimilate stillness
What is there to admit
that I have already not admitted
My writings are the bouquet
of my flawed being that wishes
to become a reflection or a
source of empathy for you
I write to feed my soul
for its survival is paramount
and the intensity of my sensations
lift it up till it all wanes
and the higher being falls
to the same old mistakes
of sheltering emotions unsaid
of harbouring feelings untrue
till it all rises again when
I’m writing this for you
Nice
What a beautiful piece. Totally didn’t expect the ending. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Stuart. Glad you liked it 🙂
Ask questions to yourself, “ Why I write?” gives you direction to move forward. We should be clear about why we write.
However, it is not easy. Most of the time when we write something, we realise “oh! This is what, I was thinking about ”.
We write for ourselves, we write for the readers. Sometimes, our writing has a greater common meaning for us, the readers and the society.
I enjoyed the poem. Now, I’m asking myself, “Why I write?”.
Very insightful line of thinking. Hope you find the answer to your question as well 🙂
Yes

Dear Rahul, Very soul nourishing
Thank you!
This is really good and captures the essence of what drives most of us to play with words and write. I write anonymously as at times I feel words are more powerfully expressed when we don’t fear judgment
For sure. Thank you!
