Rusted Thoughts

Day-2 OctPoWriMo-2017- (Prompt-We Write Because We Must )




Why do I write?

Moreover,

Why poetry?

And  the answer

Lies in the restless void.

Shifting from conscious

To an unconscious state,

The mind play games

When the dark hours

Envelope the memories

Laying dormant for eons.

Bursting to expose

In the form of thoughts

They find solace

On the parchment of words.

A catharsis, 

To find peace

To cure the heart of wild deeds

A restless journey ends

When the soul gets inked.
