~Keep Poetry~


shining tear
Originally uploaded by Resmi 17


Where do writers go
When doors are no longer receiving
Where do a heart aches
When tears are not falling
I keep falling
Yet I refuse to remain on floor
So I stand beyond the falls
Just being a woman who wipes her tears
That keeps standing with a brave smile
So if you think you snatched away my words
Within a voice of a soul I keep reciting
The world would not call me a poet
Still the poetry in me carries on

Doesn't matter what world thinks.
I think that you are a poet and I don't care what the world thinks at all. Lovely words you always have.

'Where do writers go when doors are no longer receiving? Why theu go back an knock again until someone listens or else they go and find some new doors. Doors will open for you, certainly with this kind of wonderful poetry.

There are some things that cannot be taken
Some things that will not break
There are some things that will never leave you
Keep you
Need you
For their own sake

Nasra: Hello! How are you?

Poetry is our blood. It flows through us, sustaining us, putting color in our cheeks, connecting us to the whole of life. Poetry is its own reward; like the whole of art. Consider yourself blessed. Blessings. Don
