I feel lazy right now;
I want to write, yes,
yet I don’t want to,
like I need to hide,
from words I spied
that intrigued me,
yet it’s in the words
I can breathe free,
I can be that me,
I always want to be.
I know for certain,
marriage happens
each time I write,
my thoughts in love
with words I find,
a love not so blind;
yet I don’t know,
if it’s best to let go,
be sure once again,
for the love is true,
the words return,
when I do yearn.
oh well, I did write,
it feels good too,
so a love for words
is definitely true.

Ah!!…This is wonderful poem!
“my thoughts in love
with words I find”
Awestruck by this thought!
I’m glad you liked it, Valli. Thanks 🙂
Mmm! It is only when the words love you back that a poem is born 🙂 And, words seem to dote on you, Leo 🙂
Ah, I’m glad that they do, CS 🙂 Thank you very much.
We all love words 🙂
Indeed we do, Amrit. 🙂
Words are in love with you and they come and hug you and then spread on the sheet and you appear to be taking them all so well and soon they find themselves shining in your poems…that’s what …isn’t it Leo..
As usual I liked your poem..
RS:))
Ah. Yes, RSji. I find poetry to be just that. 🙂 Though they shine themselves, I just give them the paper and the binding to make a book 😀 Glad you liked the poem. 😉
This made me think that there are many marriages in our lives. Love is usually the key.
Absolutely 🙂 Love is ever present in all things I think. Thanks Lisa 😉
Lovely poem.
Thank you, Matheikal 🙂 Glad you liked it.
This tension of relief and loss, hesitation and ecstasy is something we all feel. authentic stuff.
Yeah. It is part of being a poet I feel 🙂 Thank you, Abin. I was just at your blog, and found the poem there to be beautiful as well.
An interesting interpretation of this prompt. We’ve all been there too…
Yeah, absolutely, Geraldine 🙂 We’ve all been there, and we go there often too. Glad you felt the interpretation to be interesting. Thanks!
The birth of a poem is a wonderful thing too isn’t it, especially for the poet 🙂
Lovely.
Absolutely, Bren. It is an amazing feeling. 🙂
Leo.. it was like a breath of fresh air.. just love it.. 🙂
Thank you, and I’m glad you loved it, Shivani. I visited your haze poem, and I liked it too. 🙂 I believe I found it on Indivine first, and then at the Poetry Pantry.
Hi Leo, thanks for dropping in… and offcourse thanks for the encouragement 🙂
here you’ve expressed the exact state of turmoil which every poet and ‘want to be poet’ suffer before creating his piece… some famous literate described penning a poem is no less than tolerating labor pain!!!
Most welcome, and I enjoyed the thought behind your poetry, Anunoy. 🙂 Turmoil, and doubts, they’re part of every poem’s creation I guess. Thank you. 😀 I agree with the famous literate too. It’s quite a feeling to write a poem. 😉
I know for certain,
marriage happens
each time I write,
my thoughts in love…
What an intriguing thought this is.
Thanks, Kerry 🙂 Glad you liked it and found the thought to be intriguing. 😉
I like the idea that marriage happens each time you write. Writing a poem definitely is forging a relationship, and indeed it is love. I enjoyed this!
Thanks, Mary 🙂 I do find writing to be a pure form of love too. Glad you liked the idea, and enjoyed my poem.
Well said – the best way to keep writing is…..to keep writing:) Write on!
Indeed it is 🙂 Thank you, Sherry. Glad you liked it.
How true that “marriage happens each time I write” it feels good when the words slip on to the paper just like they belonged there, doesn’t it? I really enjoyed this.
It feels relaxing, and delightful when words just go to where they seem to belong 🙂 Thank you, Wabisabi.
Aptly said! Really a fun and relatable piece to read.
Thanks, Jennifer! 🙂 Glad you liked it.
With every surge of emotion I feel inside, words take over and poem is born! you captured my feelings!
Thanks, Meenakshi. 🙂 Glad you liked the poem.
my favorite lines are ‘my thoughts in love

Glad you liked my poem and those lines, Vidya 🙂 Thank you.
That happens to me all the time (feeling lazy and not wanting to write). Wonderful poem!
Thanks, Anthony. 😛 I guess it happens to a lot of people all the time 😉 😀
