Poem From The Heart

By Adwaitha Shankar

A poem is a beautiful source if expression;

A form of art,

Where words are spun

Into a beautiful piece,

Just as Van Gogh's paintings,

Signifying in depth emotions.

A poet finds his muse

In every lifeless object

Be it

A fallen leaf,

Or the silent woods.

It's a joy,

To be able to express

The bottled up emotions

In the form of words;

When the heart weighs heavy with grief,

I pick up my pen,

And write;

Until my heart is emptied

Of the pain.

Poems are a secretive way,

To communicate,

To connect,

To oneself;

I often find myself hovering around those

Old pages of my writings,

That's brings back memories,

That's makes me re live

Every moment of the past.

I am precisely what my poems are,

A human with a heart,

Whose soul wants to be bound,

To every beautiful adventure,

That the world entices.

Reigning in the mirth of those little dew drops on the morning flower petals,

Feeling the warmth of a forbidden love,

Sinking into a merry of personal triumph,

The fear of losing a loved one,

Finding peace in being solitary;

All that I feel,

I inscribe it,

On those blank pages

Weaving them into poems.

A poet is just another simple being,

Who pens down every part of his life,

In to verses of his own;
