In my darkest days you are the first
glow of dawn that lights the sky,
your pain is as though splitting of
seashell that hems in understanding.
I am muse, I am song, yet I am woe
which others reckon their own,
as unadulterated heart I am sound
of the sea crashing upon rocks.
I wish to write words to delve deep
into the poetic mind and retrieve
irrevocable nothings that touch,
hear and taste a world which keeps
me from being myself.
I, am forever bound, to ameliorate
agony of knowing desire better.

It reckons the deepest feelings of a hurt heart. Pain sometimes can be beautiful, I guess…
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Vandana ❤️
That is often the way that we know ourselves best. I just wish she didn’t have so much unhappiness in her life to go with the pain. However would she have painted so well without that stimulus? Great poem Sanaa.
Thank you so much, Robin 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️

What we are to others can be so varied, as you made me think with, “I am muse, I am song, yet I am woe
which others reckon their own,”
that the problem of identity can be a source of pain in itself.
