WHITE PAGE

I am searching for little words,
those are said to be swords.
I am searching for broken souls.
Fallen Angel, in hate never falls.

Ordinary things, make me think.
How to put them in the form of my ink?
Ordinary eyes, give me the cries.
The world is a lesson, for an unloved person.

Human poet, search for truth.
Twice in a lifetime, find youth.
The Poet above us Has nature inside.
How to compare with his immaculate light?

Trees are talking, mountains walking.
Sea sleeps, my favourite bird weeps.
My imagination is too small.
To describe this world, is my role.

But the page remains white...
How can i,for my flawless tears,write?
But the page remains white...
Me and words are having a fight.

I like the line, me and the words are having a fight. As I said before, Reading your poems are such a delight.
As for the world is a lesson, For an unloved person....
Your not one of them, there is a warmth and kindness that shines through your poetry. It's obvious you love to write. Regards Alan xx

That's the worse feeling, I find. When you want to write something, and although there's a whole bunch around that could inspire, the words and you are having a fight (I relate so much to that scene) ... or the words are out on vacation to an undisclosed location ;) Either way, it's a most annoying state. Very well described, thanks.

So many good lines in your poem. As well as the one Thomas chose, I favor this:

My imagination is too small.
To describe this world,

Well done. I think the White Page does not intimidate you.

Very well constructed! I especially like the internal rhyme of "The world is a lesson for an unloved person."
