The inherited genes speak,
and play an important role
to change a child in a grownup man,
but it's not our heart that loves or hates.
The language that we learn during socialization,
the literature that was created by our ascendants,
develops capabilities to avail opportunities
bestowed upon us by the ancient nature,
we have renamed it as our fates.
Neither is it color of our skin, nor our pink hearts
not even our faith nor nationality, not even our blood,
these are our thoughts that win lovely nice friends
we think, we ink, we speak to attract our readers,
we don't listen to each other and we do not talk
still we know each other more than the closed dear mates.
We are luckier than those great classical poets,
who could not convey their thoughts throughout their lives,
we never claim we are Shelley or Shakespeare, Byron or Keats,
we are mediocre at a website
but it is read throughout the world,
and we are capable to convey our thoughts
within a twinkling our dreaming eyes.
In love of poetry how pleasant are our dates!
I agree Janab, It is really difficult for many to express their true feelings yet or others it is a cake walk.....You are exceptional poet (Masha Allah) on this site and we all enjoy reading you.
A bitter truth this website has so many good poets but who is going to be recognized as good poet? Whoever he may be but if he was intoduced by PH, it will be a matter of proud for PH.
''Shelley or Shakespeare, Byron or Keats''' are being read after they r no more how sr do u think we also will be read NOT as per you the guys in future years will analyse what said o poet me poet JA AND KM etc amongst others also But note when you compose any poem see what it's value will be for generations to be short lived poetry just score it in a jiffy compose some poetry and...part 2....

It gives solace.and inspiration knowing there are poets that could inspire and uplift the spirits and fuel the minds.to pen more.
