The Words You Write Poem by Nosheen Irfan

The Words You Write

Rating: 4.8


Your words show me the way
In the blind alleys of despair
When I'm stumbling against closed doors
Straying hither and thither in a rootless,
paper-thin state

Your words flash before me
Like a light expanding and spreading
Beyond the cage of human needs
Diffusing the darkness of desolate forests
Where I'm losing my way again and again

Why do I need your words
So desperately
As if they are a life-giving potion
However bitter, and full of venom
They are my panacea
For they come from your pen
And the fountain of your soul

If it so happened
That you ceased to write
From whence would I get the light
The fire to warm my ice-cold soul?

No body wants that spring dry up which feeds their writing....it's indeed a very beautiful and a kind of craving desire...I liked this piece from your pen...thanks for sharing

Many years ago there were pen friends who never met each other but exchanged letters. Now thoughts, views and emotions are exchanged on the web sites. It.s more effective as it is instant. But to me it appears that ego of the poetess is talking to it's super ego. The ego wants words from super ego for en lighting the paths of life. Or it may simply be a request to a loved one to favor with his words expressing love and caress. In any case it's a lovely poem.
