Poetry Comes To Me

When silence is no savior,
I try to tell my tale through words estranged from my tongue,
where poetry comes to me in sombre spasms,
the "me", who you do not know.
But these suppressed emotions barely define battles of a poetic kind,
and when the frozen ink finally trickles down the quill like rainfall,
thunders and lightning are formed across heavy skies,
while ravishing rainbows follow them after,
making misery bloom into beauty, peace, and poetry,
embellishing my poetic garden forevermore.

Your poem is a truly exquisite creation. It is imbued with profound emotion and adorned with striking metaphors. When our innermost sentiments oscillate, poetry becomes the ideal medium to depict our afflictions.

When silence is no saviour... sometimes silence can be the nemesis... but when our emotions are like a roller coaster then poetry is the perfect way to portray the pain we feel... i hope you can embellish your poetic garden forever... this poem looks familiar, was it one for my prompts?
