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
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…
this is the best comment for me. thank you. I never will. I promise
yes. it is a hope to connect somehow
There are so many reasons we write. Just keep loving it! I think that’s the most important
Love this! Always keep writing.
