I don't know why, but this poem makes me happy.
Life
Feels like
A scattering
Of confetti
Coloured purple
Like the bruises
My heart
Pumps
Blood onto
And they throb
A tattoo
Of longing
And anger
And that confetti
Scatters
And that tattoo
Drums
Me
To distraction
Till I find
You
After which
All i feel
See
Hear
Is silence
Of a brutish kind
Shutting me
Down till
I can rise
Bits of me
Glued back
By your
Clumsy hands
You can read my other sub-standard works here: http://hellopoetry.com/-harnidh-kaur/

ReplyDeleteshort as it was, even the words here had a certain vibe. respect it. :)
Thank you so, so much. I'm not very comfortable with my poetry, but people like you give me strength to write again :)
Deletewhy not? i mean why aren't you comfortable?
ReplyDeleteRead the first post on this blog haha.
Deletei had. long ago. to say that i understand would be wrong. i have always had myself. but to say that i dont understand at all, that would be disaster. see Red, the thing is some of the people here, we people here are thinkers. i dont know about you but i have a hunch that just like me, you too can spend hours just thinking. being, in that world where we belong and just not be here in reality. and to understand how the world works, etc etc is to be honest majorly beyond. so quit caring. maybe you have. but then if you had well enough, you wouldn't be demoralizing yourself. you would understand that you are among the few who can understand you. so maybe its just poetry. and maybe it has no sheer brilliance and just a tad of beauty, but remember, you dont really do much. and this you do enough. constantly. and when you dont it hurts you. all this, its for a reason. respect that and stop questioning yourself. you may not know it, but you are as they say quietly brilliant.
DeleteDude stop calling your work sub standard, you know you're good, I know you're good and I'm sure there are lot of others too who think this way. I'm not really a huge poetry fan but this was actually good. I love the fact that you write lot of relatable stuff over here and over at twitter too. You're like my very own John Mayer, and that BTW is the biggest compliment I can give to anyone. Keep writing now okay?
