unwritten poems
a lowercase feast
a naked draft
lacking r h y m i n g
wisdom

a subtle feeling
of r e m i n i s c e n c e
one she barely cares about—
immersed as she seems
in undressed a p a t h y
*
a l i t h e creature
starkly pictured through
mindless streams
“the Queen is
d e a d”—old whisper.
she lowers her eyes,
p l a y i n g ignorant
to solemn news
*
Today she wakes up
From yet another
s o l s t i c e dream
and while she chases
s h y r h y m e s
she keeps on scribbling
—blurred lines,
yet
fearless—
rich with
the anecdotes
Of the time traveller
I’d forgotten what poetry felt like. I’d forgotten what it was to be moved to tears by a handful of lines:
Things unsaid, a screaming, beating heart.
An apology: never accepted.
VB, this is something else. Wonderful writing and as always, I love how you structure your poetry on the page. There’s so much drama and interest in it.
Oh Kritika, I am so honored to read this comment, really happy brilliant writers like yourself can relate to these lines. Taking this chance to wish you a fulfilling, poetic and exciting 2023! 💛💛💛
