Do leave your thoughts in the comment section and share how poetry has been your savior.

Happy blogging!

My poetry keeps me sane.
It demarcates the boundary
between the pleasure and the pain
It saves my soul
savors and protects it
prevents from the debilitating pain
devour it as a whole
My pain morphing
and convulsing
and taking shapes
as it welt and blisters
leaves it everlasting
impressions on my
naked yellow skin
marking its territory
and slowly making its own,

My poetry keeps me sane
It demarcates the boundary and
between the pleasure and the pain
between the ebb and the flow of the
bizarre and the surreal world
my emotions weave around me
swallowing me whole
my life dangling between the
realms of the truth and the reality
a dream, broken to its core

My poetry keeps me sane
It demarcates the boundary and
between the pleasure and the pain
falling into the quicksand
of miseries and anxieties
the ephemeral pain
of losing its identity
slowly and surely
rotting and getting lost
at its pore.

My poetry keeps me sane
it keeps me whole.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

  5. I raise my pen to you, poetess, for doing your part to bring tribute to this most beautiful art form. Poetry equals sanity for many of us, or, at the very least, the product of our contemplative reflections on life and our place in it as we interact with our environments and those around us. Bravo and happy writing! Cheers!
