Words And Emotions... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i only write
i do not beg you to read me.
i only write
and it has nothing to do with
popularity.
i do not beg you to make a comment
either.
i am only a writer whose passion
is just to write,
whether is it poetry or
not.

do not judge me,
for it need not be me,
in here, but could be the
most ordinary other,
those who suffer
and those who do not know how to
speak
much more,
do not even know how to write.

this is the medium,
this is the tunnel
this is the hiding place
for all those joys
and sorrows
woven together.

there will be thousands
and even thousands more,

this tapestry of words,
and emotions.
