Poetry?

What are those illustrative couplings of words that echos within one’s soul?

‘Poetry‘, you say?

Are they just words that tantalize our ears?

Are they just a set of letters with an inner meaning?

How does one write it? I ask!

Feelings that emerge like a storm,

Emotions that erupt like lava,

Forming words that has enough impact; to flatter men and gods!

Words that are tainted by filth,

Words written by bloody hands and sins of the past,

Words that explains who we were; what we are; what we have evolved into,

Words that are more than mere tears and screams,

Words that can take your heart away,

Words that make you skip a beat,

Words that show you realities beyond imagination,

Words of the broken glass; the dust and the unheard voices; you say!

If all those words when combined is called a poem; then who is a poet? I ask!

The sinners who hurt for reasons or sport?

The leeches who can suck the life out of you?

The liars who cannot justify their cause?

The fallen failures who cannot get back on to their foot?

The broken hearts? the tyrants ? SATAN?

Are they the poets? I ask!

With a smirking voice; you say,

In one’s life we do come across these milestones,

We do cost others their blood and bones,

We lie to save ourselves or the world from inevitable miseries,

We fail to achieve, fail to live a life we deserve,

And ‘SATAN’ is in all of us,

The misconceptions of the devil in your mind I shall clear now!

If god gave you a life, it’s satan who gives you a second chance to live it,

If god gave you a boon ,

When misused; SATAN is your doom,

If god teaches love, satan teaches it’s value ,

The devil is in all of us; through every face; like our shadow,

The face you hide, the words that are unspoken, the deeds you wish you could undo ,

Your realizations , that’s his work,

And when these actions, emotions, feelings burst out like unstoppable rush,

Words emerging from no where in your mind, falling like shooting stars onto a piece of paper,

A poem is born!

The words of not those who fall, but of those who can never fall again.
