Manuscript
I keep...
Some idle words,
Few hollow lines,
By my bedside.
Half past midnight,
I write some more...
While few smile at me,
Standing at my door...
Puzzled by this random rush,
I search for the meaning within.
I adopt the simple versions,
The ones which touch my skin.
I flip the chapters of my life,
My life looks like an ashtray.
I puffed every bit out of it,
But, I sing it as a ballet.
I write...I will continue to...
Everyday shaping my endeavor.
With my words I'm immortal,
In them...I will live forever and ever...
Yuhooo.. I am the 1st one to comment.. And I totally agree that u r Immortal by ur words.. :) Very nice.. :)

DeleteTruly, writing is something which can give you peace when in distress, it can be your strongest empathizing force when everyone fails to understands. You can shout, you can roar, you can express it in your most diaphanous form.
ReplyDeleteWriting surely is the best medium for 'expression', just as it is beautifully indicated by your finely written poem. :)
True, Akriti. Writing is a way of life for those who appreciate its beauty.
DeleteThanks for a lovely comment!
Absolutely amazing Saru. I am smitten by the last two lines! We all are have thought made words with which we play and thread out a display of emotions in our own way. And I love your way! It's inspiring. Keep Writing. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Rachit and I love your way...:)

Deletei really love these lines
ReplyDelete"With my words I'm immortal,
In them...I will live forever and ever..."
In my case i would like to replace words with Photographs:P
It is just a lovely feeling to really pursue your passions. And words really have a pull of their own, if you really love them and know how to play with them:)
Yeah, you can use the word 'photographs' instead of 'words'. And, what you said about writing is true for photography as well. I can't even hold a camera, forget about taking meaningful shots. You are truly blessed in that field.
DeleteA writer's favorite thing - words! Loved it :)
ReplyDeleteYeah...:) Thanks for liking it Ananya:)
DeleteImmortal- true! I am sure by now you are already etched in the minds of many readers. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so Sameera. Thanks for your comment:)
DeleteWell crafted and as usual wonderful post ....

DeleteThe struggle of trying to define a writer's life is captured very nicely. It is very trying to attempt a definition of poetry or a poet's mission, but your poem has captured it's essence very well.

Delete""With my words I'm immortal,
ReplyDeleteIn them...I will live forever and ever...""
I got goose-flesh reading them.
I hope it was not scary. Sometimes, poems are loose hanging and you can comprehend as per your wish...
DeleteNo matter what the life was like, like an ash tray you have compared with there would also be few words in it which we smile at. And for all the words we keep going and its only the words which makes a mortal person to live forever like an immortal. It was interesting to read every line of yours which had profound meaning in it. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elvirah...Words do have this power...
DeleteA manuscript worth looking into. Everyone needs such manuscripts in their lives so that they can keep themselves updated about their ups & downs, success & failures. hate & love, likes & dislikes among others. Nice work!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Ram for sharing your views and for the comment:)

Delete"With my words I'm immortal" -- That'll stay with me. I once heard that an artist is akin God for he creates, no matter what he does the one who dreams, alone makes the life move on. Evolution some may call it, but it starts with a dreaming mind.
