you ask why I write ,
and I admit ,
I am tempted to tell you,
maybe not the truth
’cause I know not today
what truth you will prefer
There ws a challenge,
when I began year back;
then came the need to impress
to spread my wings and test;
to cry , smile , scream and break
into peices over soft grass
or shredded glass in cold nights,
I wrote with abundance,
with pride over my new friends
and with fear one year –
the same year that I was robbed,
left naked to bleed and cry
while some one erased words
from dreams and real life alike.
Why I still wrote, my friends asked
and I have no answer except
writing a few bits more in secret.
Never did I know, I wrote
’cause there was someone out there
who waited to read me,
to match his silence with my lines,
to sing the words I left behind,
to read my words,
read me,
write to me,
write me ..
Write …
I write for him,
I wrote to seek him,
I write of his love
I wrote dreams of him
I write
I always will,
I want to ..

This is a non stop writing that happened after reading this post and the comments below.
thank you dVerse Poets ! you always make me write some amazing stuff π
Lovely attempt to answer an impossible question. For those of us who write, it seems to me we just do. It’s like asking a person why they breathe. Peace, Linda
This is brilliant.
smiles..it is good you are compelled to write….and dont worry what i or anyone want to hear…but whaat your heart says of him to write…smiles.
Why do we write..because we want to..we leave pieces of ourselves behind.
I am blessed that you write Sister…I am blessed that your words have journeyed oceans to rest in my eyes and heart. I am grateful you want to…I love you! xoxo ~ Rose
Have never read any beautiful descriptions of the reasons why someone write. Lovely, beautiful, truthful way of expressing.
Don’t stop wanting… π
