Poetry November 2024


In one's ordinary life,
 there must always be a place for something exceptional, 
like poetry... or love.

In one's ordinary life, 
there must always be a place for poetry.

A writer’s heart 

does not only hold scars caused by love,

but also those that cross

the lines of unsaid words

and fully-lived, unspoken feelings.


Life is merely a tragedy to a writer,

something that must occur 

like the final line of a book,

and like an ink stain that inevitably 

taints the fingers of a poet.


Real love, too, must be attained 

In the same way.
