When I Write – A Poem by Aditi Sharma

WHEN I WRITE

Reality mingles
with fantasies in my head.
Truth gets along
with thoughts unsaid.
I sculpt imagination
into words with a pen.
Looking for ties
between now and then.
With the sun of joy,
and the clouds of pain.
The breeze of love,
and the a tornado of bane.
Gathering all emotions
in a basket of life.
With glitters on top
and dust on sides.
Reincarnating myself
into verses I write.
With poetry and rhymes
that make me alive.
Through the magic of ink,
that’s darker than night.
A soul full of hues,
in a paper resides.
