I read this amazingly beautiful poem by Charles Bukowski titled ‘But don’t write poetry‘ shared on Asha’s Blog. Thank you Asha for sharing the poem and I could not stop my self penning this down as an inspiration from the poem.
Emotions might get unreal,
Mind could fly to a world of illusion,
Beliefs might fling,
Life might seem amusingly beautiful,
When words might find solitude,
Lines might jazz,
Sadness might mourn,
Expressions might bleed,
Darkness might disappear,
One might see the fictional steps,
To the fairy land of dreams.
So,
Don’t write poetry!
Your illustration is outstanding.

I didn’t get it on my first read, but got it after looking at Bukowski’s poem . Definitely insightful! But I didn’t understand the line about words finding solitude 😦

I am glad you read that poem too.. 🙂
Thank you so much. I intend to mean, at times when words feel lonely, when they form a line (set of words) it might sound music. I will prefix that line with ‘when’. That might make it more meaningful. Thank you so much for sharing that.. 🙂

Poetry does work magic on how we feel
Just like music it heals and connects us to the light within
Great words Prakash !!
