Because the normal use of language can only describe what is normal. We, and you might find this controversial, are not normal. Most of the time we are like everyone else : pretending to be normal. What makes who we are, what distinguishes us as individuals, is the time we stop pretending and become abnormal. That's what the normal language cannot describe.
Poems are the words we use every day, to describe the things we experience once in a lifetime.
Poems free us from the boundaries of language to the limitless space of emotions.
Poems teleport our memories from the past, our dreams from the future and set them free in us, in the "now".
Poems do not tell us what we expect to hear, but rather make us feel, taste and sense the words. It turn words into moments that we can live, and relive.
Poems freeze time, capture moments in words and set them free from our 4 dimensional world.
Poems turn us into gods, creating our own worlds, setting our own rules, and becoming immortals...
Poems are our tears flowing through the words, our laughters flying beyond the world.
Poems carry the smell of dawn, paint the colours of sunsets, dance with the stary nights, and befriend the lonely hearts.
Poems are the letters of lovers, without disclosing their names. The prisoners longing for freedom, without the walls of their cells.
Poems are the metaphors of the speechless, the wisdom of the old, and the eagerness of the young.
Poems are the sound of champagne glasses in weddings and the deafening silence of loss.
Poems are words revealing the joy and sorrow of the soul. Words saying what cannot be said.
Poems are words, when a word is bigger than the world.
That's why I wish I could write poetry..
