I Have

Hi Sambit, As I looked at this as a whole it drew me in as it is visually beautiful as well as being very apt for a poet. I have too many words....but a few just for you.....This is brilliant as usual.

I have words I state, words I bleed
words to leave, words to lose.

Words are those things we use to fill the spaces between us. Sometimes they can facilitate true communication; more often they are finely woven masks to hide from each other...and ourselves.

For the poet they are something else perhaps. They are the imperfect mirrors through which we try to see our reflections...the subtle materials we try to sculpt into art, but usually end up creating mere self-portraits.

When we were at school, my oldest friend was fond of declaiming, "Words are power!" ... and perhaps they are...but they are much more difficult to wield than they first appear; it takes patience, persistence and practice...in short, you need to be a poet to write poetry.

And this is a fine piece of poetry, poet.
