When I pick the quill of the pigeon’s wings
And I dip it into the depths of the ink,
So deep where eyes cannot reach
Sometimes even selves are not there
But there is someone we love, a quill
Or a reader or a bee who glue words
And fly away.
When molten gold, those treasures which
Were once parts of life or even living,
The fuel you burn, was alive someday
Such a potential it had, even after death
It burns stoves, a hope in a heart and
These are places where my quill goes
And flies away.
With those treasures cemented on feathers
Physically the quill and the pen becomes one
And what a cry each other break through
The quill gossips all it had known, learned
At instants there is even a droplet of tear
A very deep blue one, but still these rumors
Tend to fly away.
But what if I don’t find my paper or my ink pot
If they tend to fly away, go away, leave me alone
From where shall I pick my words, my feelings
And with whom shall I share them, gossip,
Wish I could nestle air, hug it into my arms
But I can’t, my keeper won’t let me come near
Why are you flying away?
Author notes
This is unsual.
It is not for loosing my beloved, it is, but not loosing a life patner...or probably it is, but finally not someone whom one want to be his wife... This one is dedicated to my sister.
It was late January, when misunderstanding developed between us. Until taht time we used to have a very healthy relationship, so good one, so natural, we used to share everything...(TO BE CONTINUED...MOM'S CALLING!!!)

This is an interesting poem... you have some very good imagery in this - and the content is beautifully dealt with... I had a tendency to feel that this piece could have been just as emotive in a shorter form - but that could just be my preferences, so no offense is meant
I wish you the best in this contest, I enjoyed the write!
Keep writing
Polly
