The Image That Is Mine Poem by Sumann Dutta

The Image That Is Mine



When I had stopped writing, I don't know.
There is a pregnant silence all around.
I look at the water sunshine outside my window through my dry eyes.

Meaningless thoughts and jumbled sentences,
A few scraps of thoughts, a broken pencil,
And a large empty canvas to fill.

The unkempt hair and disheveled clothes,
A blank stare from the hollow eyes that look back at me-
From the only mirror on the wall.

the gloom of the poet at not being able to write so well portrayed....but u know what just pick up that broken pencil and write....i'm sure words will begin to flow like water....and the face in the mirror will smile back at you...
