My hand starts moving.
On the paper the quill screams
Out flow the emotions
The regrets and the dreams
It seems like poetry,
Whatever I’ve written
But, I’m not a poet
It’s not verses that I pen.
The lines themselves
Are my tears, are my smile
Through my quill, on my paper
I sketch myself every once a while
I record my life, or maybe
Try to tell someone, as it did once happen
I’m not a poet
It’s not verses that I pen.
Maybe it’s a plea
Maybe it’s an accusation
Maybe I just want to be heard
But it’s my only consolation
Maybe I’m just hoping
That someone-somewhere….will listen….
I’m not a poet
It’s not verses that I pen
The words are my pain
My love, my anger, my sorrow
The ink is my own blood
The pen is my bone, which by now is hollow…
I only try…
To relieve the pain,
To re-live the joy…
Of times forgotten….
I’m not a poet
It’s not verses that I pen
The world starts to blur
Scenes flash in front of my eyes
I stare at them transfixed
And simply note-down all the truths and lies
Leaving some mark on the sands of time
Eternalizing a memory now and then
I’m not a poet
It’s not verses that I pen
Crying out every word
Smiling out every line
Like ém or hate ém
At least they are mine
In lands of dreams and rhymes
I lose myself quite often
But I’m still not a poet
It’s not verses that I pen.

Awesome…well wht u wrote says a truth abt lot of poets. i write just to express myself in a way tht i cant do without poetry..some poems mske me happy some sadden me but all of them talk abt me in way i can never say!
Well expressed poem & Thought.
According to Great Hindi Poet kavi Neeraj ” Ek Achchi kavita ko “sunder vivashata” ke atirict aur kuch nahin kaha ja sakata” . A good poem writes itself.
Your poems are all so good and so different from each other, another fabulous work from you!! The word flow and the variety in the structure are amazing
This would make such a great song….I can hear the voice of Leonard Cohen or Dylan crooning it 
Beautifully composed….songsmith
the best of your poems,I believe.beautifully crafted;a story of almost every poet around.Can’t stop praising you bro.
Very true what you say, true for everyone who expresses thoughts via words, be it prose or poetry. A beautiful poem, indeed.
The lines themselves
Are my tears, are my smile
Through my quill, on my paper
I sketch myself every once a while
They have said it all…
I am simply in awe of just what you’ve written. All the poets can relate to this and I am no diferent…We will one day die but these words would be here as long as it can be preserved- never to decay or ashen like us…
i can empathize with ur poem
poetry was a medium
that helped me
get over the loss of love
but had i not lost a love
i wud have never written a poem
in my life i think
it opened a new way of expression for me
