a poetic mind
Inspired by Quote - We are writers, my love, we don't cry, we bleed on paper by a.y
I wield my words,
and let my stories dance across the field,
let the ink take form and somehow call it poetry,
My thoughts ride amidst the jargon of seamless words,
weaving through the alphabets and settle down where it hurts,
Letting my pen glide across the surface, opening wounds,
Which even I don't know the cure to,
Bleeding itself dry,
Just so you could read and say, yeah that's good,
We're poets - we let the paper cut and the pen bleed,
The words slash but your heart heal,
So at the end of the day, you come and say,
My pain goes away but the memories stay.

Hi! Much like any other enthusiastic reader, I like to spend my time looking for poems or quotes that resonate with me and sometimes you find just the piece. The quote by a.y was something I understood deeply, though I had not yet reached a level where I had ever been vulnerable to an extent that "I bled on paper". The idea however, seemed a great an expression of a poet on poetry and that is what this poem is to me. It came along much like a jargon of seamless words. I hope you enjoyed it!
