Poems on Writing - Blackout Poetry Notes

Abstract the Essence

Perhaps the purest
substance of human light
is concentrated
in art itself.
Abstract the essence of
every book.

To write we must
feel the words;
we must speak a language
of intimate feel.

Pen and paper
are my greatest happiness;
time, I tend to forget.

Truth be told,
books are mirrors of life;
a form of reality,
the open window of reading
show precisely that
daily life is poetry.

Books undress you
with love.
Read slowly, you'll feel like
yourself again.

The pure soul of an artist
is a mind consumed
and swayed
by love.

The heart and soul
of a good story
is so blended that we feel
it in real life.

Good writing demands
the urge of tantalizing readers
to flick the page.

Bringing a book to life
is a labor of love,
unique in ability to take you
into the wild
of literary worlds.

I've wanted to write
but a book would be
the proverbial bird in
gilded cage,
for fear it might disappear
and empty her heart.
