What are poems?

Emily, you know poems are not just written words. They are the soft taps of reassurance for everyone that it’s okay to be imperfect, unique and misunderstood. They are the much required consolation that things will be alright. The difficult times shall end and happiness would come again. Not just comfort, they also make you believe that you are strong enough to face those difficulties now. Poems are kind of your solace. Where penning them helps you exhale your emotional chaos, reading them helps inhale motivation and comfort. They are like your closest friend who won’t leave you alone, and make you feel stronger than you currently feel.

So Emily, poems are the essence of a poet’s heart and soul. They tell you his thoughts and emotions.

They are like the first coffee of the day when you suddenly feel energized and confident to win the world over.

They are like your pillow who absorbs your tears and gives you the comfort of a hug when you feel lonely.

They are like the fragrance of mahogany trapped in its shade, when you pass by.

They are like the cherry blossoms in the spring, making you smile with just the right appearance of scenic beauty.

They are the gentle caresses of the lover’s palms, raising all sorts of goosebumps and eternal bliss.

They are the excitement of a five year old kid in a candy store, wanting everything they have coz he is having a hard time choosing.

But above all, they are the dreams amd desires of the poet along with the words of his experience
