Notes About The Poem

The Writer

 
"To be a writer remote and alone is to 
enter a portal into another realm."

                                    Quote - by Constance

                                                
My hands extensions of my soul,
deep thoughts into the long past stroll;
my pen drips of sorrow and blood,
inspired by the great poets ole !

Some memories buried in mud,
others sweet as a flower bud;
the long past held on fragile strings,
once I start words fall in a flood !

Always, always the long dead clings,
oft' I pen-  'til a dawn bird sings;
I get lost in nature's beauty,
closing my eyes to see bird wings !

I am lost in bird songs fluty,
as I search for words dark sooty;
penning poems is who I am,
writing-  is a poets duty !

oh, this life comes with no program,
but, anything else is a sham;
my words can get quite pointed strong,
though, in truth-   I am quite a lamb !

Jenna Logan May 25, 2022 at 6:57 AM I've just found this among other Rubaiyat poems, and I read it twice to further enjoy the depth of its pain. So delicately expressed, despite the depth of your emotions.
