Maybe I’m not a Poet

Nirant Gurav

Maybe I’m not a Poet

like everyone else

Says, because I spend hours

hunched over keyboards

& Papers & Pens,

only to find a blank page

Staring black.

And even when I do find

the words, the blood

doesn’t run

through the ink

like it’s supposed to.

Maybe I’m not a Poet.

Maybe I’ve just made friends

with all these words,

because when everyone else

is fast asleep,

they are the ones

who listen .

  3. Love it. It poetically resumes what a lot of us writers feel once in a while. That writers block. Though those words resounding in our head become our best friends πŸ˜‰ because tjey refuse to leave until we do something with them on paper πŸ˜… And yes, because they listen more than even people do. And may I add. You are not A simple poet. You are a VERY TALENTED poet. And I am very glad I came across your blog and look forward to reading more of your work. πŸ’› Sincerely, JR

  7. HEY NIRANT

    When its all done and dusted
    When the critics have whined
    and the fans have smiled
    But you still wake up,
    with a burning desire
    For one more word…
    When your pen run out of ink..
    but you still thirst
    for one more line,
    your conscience may judge you.
    but,
    A poet you remain…….
