Home… – I Rhyme Without Reason

This post has been published by me as a part of Blog-a-Ton 58; the fifty-eighth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. In association with Saravana Kumar Murugan, the editor of Shades Of Life book series.

The pages are blank. The white stares back at me, taunting me. Yet I can’t make the words dance in shades of blue like I once used to. The river of thoughts seems to have been stopped. Yet, I don’t remember building a dam. Something blocks it. I ask myself what, but I don’t find an answer. The quest for it seems to dishearten me.

I’m tired. No. Exhausted… of energy, of words. Have I told myself that I’m average so much that I’ve started to believe it is true? I want to find that exhilaration again, that happiness I felt when I wrote. I want to lose myself in the worlds I concoct. They held magic. I never needed a reason to rhyme, a reason to write. I wanted to. That was good enough. When did I begin to think that that wasn’t enough?

What I write, I want it to be meaningful. To me, if not to anyone else. I want it to be special, to bring me hope even when I feel like I’m falling into a bottomless pit.

I want to return to the magic that I know my words hold. I want to return home.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
