We smile at each other In mutual understanding The silence of your words Is warmer than the shower I am sitting in Warm white clothes and my hands tied behind my back in a white room with soft walls Where my soft lullabies Are swallowed The words in my head Don't match words on my lips But there lives a kaleidoscope Of swirling djinnis in here All cackling Such welcome warm friendship Where teasing and crying And devilish laughter Are equal ingredients I am seeking I'll craft beautiful poetry In the room with the white walls And my single blue pen More we don't need here I'm writing *** January 30, 2017

Keep writing, because what you produce can only amaze. . . but beware of those jinn, some are good and some are bad.

Jinns, don't I know it :) Indeed, and that's exactly what those two stanzas (3 and 4) are about. Writing keeps them at bay. Thank you.

"In the white room, with black curtains, near the station" Darren, the words in my head seldom match the words on my lips. I love that line. Nice write. Thought I'd throw in a little EC:)

Yu may feel you are in the midst of a non-creative poetic setting but this poems speak otherwise. Very nicely done my friend.

Thanks Chris. I am so vulnerable if I can't write, it's almost the only way I have to express myself.

Thanks Tim, I'm so happy I was able to. This is how I can express myself, it's so hard otherwise :)
