For me to write poetry <br />is just not me <br />I blame my heart <br />as you will see <br /> <br />I felt pretty down one day <br />and heard my brain say <br />write down, your feelings and thoughts <br />start from your heart <br />write on paper <br />your feelings, your pain, your loss. <br /> <br />so I sat back pen in hand <br />brain in pause <br />to get my feelings on paper <br />was my cause <br /> <br />amazingly it just happened <br />my heart just talked <br />my hand wrote <br />ink to paper <br />just like words of wisdom <br /> <br />the words flowed <br />like a torrent of raw emotion <br />the pain, the sorrow, the fear, the loneliness <br />all came out. <br /> <br />the feeling I had was quite unique <br />so I looked down and had a peek <br />as peace of mind is all I seek <br /> <br />I suddenly realized <br />the sun was shining <br />I heard a bird sing <br /> <br />perhaps it was an omen <br />on that day <br />when <br />I wrote my first poem.<br /><br />Mahfooz Ali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-i-wrote-my-first-poem-an-omen/
