I want to express what I mean when I say I love you, but there aren't enough words to express this need to love you
I'm not in love but...
The Black Raven Aug 2014
I cannot discover
and I cannot find
the proper words
to express my mind,
all my thoughts
flood out to you
and I wonder if you're
thinking of me too,
an empty page
and pen in hand
this could only be
No mans land.
Why is it the ones we shouldn't love, we love the most.

you're the blood my heart pumps to every *****.
you fill me up,
you make me feel alive.
you're the oxygen my lung takes in.
you're my destruction,
yet honey you're always my savior too.
you're the missing puzzle piece,
baby without you I'm never complete.
without you I'm filled up with void,
with emptiness.
as if I am made up of only fragile bones,
a beating heart,
but no soul.
Listen, to the silence
growing louder and louder.
Listen, to the beats
drumming inside my chest.
Listen, to the moaning
pleading for help.
Listen, to the dripping
coming from my eyes.
Listen.
Its in here, somewhere.
Listen.
Can you hear it?
Can you hear me?
its been quite awhile since I've written another poem. I wont make any promises that this will be regular. Ive been so dry...

I miss calling you my babe
I miss arguing with you about who loves who the most
I miss telling you I love you
I miss not be able to show off your beauty
I miss your goodnights  and your good mornings
I miss planning what we was gonna do in the future
I miss your kisses and hugs
I miss chairing you up in your down times
I miss your laughter and your smile
But most of all
I miss calling you mine

The blank paper stared at me for long
Wishing, I wield the pen to paint with ink
As my mind is heavy with thoughts
Blank paper offers me the space to share
Myriads of thoughts and deepest emotions
How effortlessly the blank paper draws me
Out of my slumber, to pen down the words
When the pen touches the paper
It connects my soul and heart to the blank space
Waiting for me to fill the white space with emotions
Offering me an easy access to let go
And express with eloquence, over pristine canvas
Painting the most intricate designs with words
Times when spoken words become few
And the only path for me is to compose
It does not complain if the composition goes awry
Being a true companion without being judgmental
Not weary of my erratic thoughts and going wayward
After all, everyday it brings me to the table
That’s the path which I am drawn towards
Without being wary of the world, I pen down my thoughts
The blank paper always waits for me to wield the pen
And the ink flows again to chronicle my thoughts
I may not be Walt Whitman or William Wordsworth or Robert Frost. But I am human and just as Whitman and Wordsworth and Frost wrote, so too can I write.

So too can I share with strangers words that express my humanness because even if I'm not famous, I feel, I see, I hear, I simply exist.

Isn't that what poetry does?
Reminds us that we all experience this world similarly,
We all grieve,
We all seek,
We all love,
We all want,
We all cry,
We all wonder,
We all simply exist.

And that is enough for me to write, for you to write, and even if we don't get recognition,
It's about conveying this notion of existing.
Simply write.
