Constance La France Poet Ghazal

Notes About The Poem

Quote Me Rumi

 
When I am alone I will create, in the silence,
I write poetry as that is my fate, in the silence.

I have a need to seclude myself and withdraw from life,
wanting to be hidden and concentrate, in the silence.

Inside me a storm of thunder and lightning is raging,
my sad words are swirling and penetrate, in the silence.

Into the dark of night quietly I write my poems,
I have this sweet power to captivate, in the silence.

My broken heart is bleeding and my pen is dripping blood,
it is my prayer and my wish to write great, in the silence.

James Inman December 3, 2015 at 9:48 AM I feel what you are saying here, BW. I can't write with distractions, of which I have had too many as of late. Even music is a distraction at times. Love the repeated word. Constance La France December 3, 2015 at 3:23 PM James, thanks for the visit, I like writing in silence, sometimes before I write I will listen to classical music, but will turn it off to write. I have been trying different forms of late, and Ghazal is a nice one for repeating lines, I really like it, hopefully I do well in the contest ~

The Grahamburglar November 29, 2015 at 6:15 PM I think on some superficial level I can relate to this poem. Surely in the gaps of the words is a whole different world/dimension that is uniquely yours to tread, but at times...in the silence, I find myself most inspired. I really enjoyed this write, it's an easy 7 from me. Constance La France November 29, 2015 at 6:22 PM Thank you for visiting and for the great comment, appreciate
