I want to write today ...a poem by Asif Sultan Matta

I want to write today... Asif Sultan 28-08-2017 I want to write today... Let my Muses be sullen, thus away The ink arid and my pen sterile And heart devoid of feelings But I want to write today... How long shall I keep apraising The ink-flow of my comrades And teach pupils 'how to write'? To get a spur to write? And drain impeded streams? No, let me hold a dagger And slit all my veins And let clogged blood drip To paint a crimson castle  Out of it, to give home to my pain I want to write today... I can't afford not to write Can't be now imprisoned within  this writer's block Is it or it isn't?  Can't let myself be dazed in this crock Let me fill my fountain pen With wine of coal black ink and let it stumble on dull paper,  I've been afraid to fill For I want to write today... Witty or silly be my poem Let ye not call it even a poem Rhyme and rhythm be absent in it And its syn

The smile I had by a poem by Asif Sultan Matta
