Be You In Words Poem by Praveen Kumar In Shobha Priya

When you write,
Put all your weight
Behind it;
Reflectively wait
Till time is right,
For thoughts to sprout
And, then spread net
Of natural words
To catch birds
And bring on grounds
Of rhythms and rhymes.


Write from heart,
Every single thought;
Feel, let thoughts come out
In the garbs of wit;
Bring it out, tightly knit In right outfit;
Furbish each bit
Till self reflects In every word
On its smooth face
In your own pace.


While you write, Interlace with it;
Never be abstract,
Nor lose your sight;
Just involve and sit In midst of it;
Be you in words;
Let your inner worlds
Drive in herds
Your inner crowds
To surface in reflective moods.


Put sweat and blood,
Stream tears in flood,
Churn passions out of mud,
Then write from head;
It be warm and cool
And your own tale,
Real grief and smile,
But detached from a mile
With a selfless gulf
From the turbulence of the self.
