Rediscover

Lost out on poetry

The joyous interplay of words and emotion

Amalgam of thoughts and considerations

Life crept in and rhyme walked out

Became less about dreams, more about assertion

The ever so accessible vent to life’s drama

Being pushed aside by never ending priorities

Phrases making way for unaddressed insecurities

The intoxicating wordplay, one of life’s necessities

Now meekly stared as responsibility took over

Pen and paper lay in dismal grief

Words looked up in disbelief

Every attempt to rewrite, futile

Every new sentence crumbly, fragile

A dangerous addiction, wordplay is

Every now and then, certainly missed

It’ll make you write how you lost poetry

Make you rediscover the beauty of symmetry

There you find, right within you

The love for poetry, lost and found.
