How To Write A Perfect Poem

So you want to write a poem
The world will want to view
A poem that is so perfect
It will change a life or two
You can try to make it funny
And make the reader laugh
Or maybe a love story
That brings a feeling back
You can try to pull them into it
Help them feel the pain
Show them there's a different side
A new path they can take
You can let them see deep within
Show them something new
Have them ask a question
Or answer one for you
You can write a perfect poem
If it's what you want to do
Just take the time and feel the words
That are deep inside of you
But know that many poems of the past
They are read by very few
Still each poem, your poem is just perfect
If it touches only you


Write your perfect poem**

If the memory
Of the entire world
Is erased right away

Without opinions
Imagine!
How serenity comes to play

What is the use of language?
By far, when it has
Only caused
Humanity to stray
Words have
Just become
A fabrication
To impose oneself
On another
Like a prey

Oh! nature
Erase the memories
So, ignorant identities
Fighting for attention
Can stay
Out of the way
For identity crisis
Could force one another
To only care and aid
Instant thought
Bharti Singh Oct 2016
'I am different', all think the same
'I am unique', this notion hackneyed
Bharti Singh Oct 2016
Clinging to PAST TENSE
Trying for FUTURE PERFECT
Making all PRESENT TENSE

All VERBS tensed.
All verbs tensed implies our thoughts, speech, and actions.
Bharti Singh Oct 2016
They say 'Be Yourself'

My-self confused

Who am I?
Where is my self?
Most do not even realise this till the end of life. Just a threadbare phrase for ordinary.
Bharti Singh Oct 2016
effortless is
thinking ill
thinking good
requires will
when baffled
best is
to bring
all thoughts
to still
Bharti Singh Oct 2016
One must be right first to see what is wrong
One must understand wrong to be right
To know the nature of things really as they are
Contemplate on each thought without bar
To develop wisdom this becomes the road
Concept of singularity cloaks mind's door
If things are just one way
Wisdom is not required to weigh
Think 'just enough' to know what truth is
Hold thoughts momentarily and then release
Hold, but not cling as impermanent is everything
