Feeling Poem by Quintin van Deventer

How does one write what one feels,
how do you pour your heart around that
steal ball in your ballpoint pen.
Words have definitions, you can look them up and
you’ll find their meaning,
but how does one use such paraphernalia
to explain that what is so imaginarily abstract?
What is emotion, feeling?
It’s not language; language is set, predictable and knowledgeable.
Emotion is not. Emotion is individualistic, raw and disobedient.
You can master a language but emotion has no syntax.
What I feel is unique, you cannot comprehend it…
