kannamma on krishna's poetry...

what's poetry
but an expression
of the unexpressed
a blossoming from
a bud..
an outpouring from a soul
but also
just a reflection
of its source
for words are just words
and yours i love
because
they bring me closer to you..
not because
they paint
a beautiful picture of life
but because
its how you see life...
beautiful
not because they
speak of love
but because they
speak of your love...
not because they
capture agonies and
uncertainty
but because its
your struggle they reveal..
that why
if its not
your experience
i don't care
to listen....
but perhaps
they all are..
you just don't realize it..
when your poem
expresses feelings that
i too have
i love it because
i feel connection with you
when your poem
expresses feelings
new to me
i love it because
it intrigues me
how different you are..
if your stupid question
is not answered yet,
what i love about
your poetry is...
you, not the poems!!!
without you
the poem loses meaning
but
without the poem
your meaning just slips
further from me..
still calling me
but i have to find
a new way in
..
if you stop writing,
still i'll be with you
waiting to know you
more and more...
