A Poem of Joy

November 18, 2013 at 2:22am

I can never write a poem of Joy-

One that can bring the peace and contentment;

One a reader can enjoy;

A poem filled with love and rejoices;

I can't write one even if I had the choice;

Never attempted to write a poem filled with two people in unflinching love;

Or a group of people dancing ecstatically;

Maybe because it reminds me of my broken heart which aches me severely;

Never wrote a poem of happy chirping birds in Utopian forest as my mind,

Limited to the devastating land of rocks filled with the darkest;

The sour and bitter words flow out constantly

As I write like I'm passionate to pen down the depressed thoughts filed with no light;

Spilling out the emotions of hate, rage and anger towards one and all

One, all either one or all;

Being reprimanded and separated like one disease infected living being deserving to die;

I cry Day and night to vomit the inky black pitch of darkness;

Can never write a poem of joy-

That can wipe the tears of a weeping woman, lonely in her room

 Trying to stop the endless leakage by cheering herself up

What maybe the consequence is unknown to the third eye;

Or can take kid to a world of euphoria, 

A fantasy it craves,

A mere imagination of luck and heroism;

Or can never soothe a man loving poetry

Trying hard to find comfort after hours of arduous work;

Wants nothing but sweet and loving words to read;

To drive away the tiredness brought by work

Or can lull a months old baby

Whose mother, tries to by reading one poem filled of tales of the old folklore;

I can or will never ever write a poem of joy

 As I don't know of how it looks or feels

As I never sensed its presence.
