Sometimes, the words in us.
is like an a vile venom
a beautiful egg unhatched;
a lethal emotion unexpressed
a musing living aimlessly poised to kill
Waiting to explode like a nuke,
flying, scattered like a book's pages

---

I'm a traveler, sojourning through pain.
I've written epistles in tragedies.
but the roads untraveled;
are far beyond comprehension;
the pains are like the grains of sand,
uncountable as the clouds,
they're burdened, cumbersome as penury
the memories are unexplainable

---

Sometimes the urge to dance on a paper.
Is like embracing the romance of the air.
the mind is a bank;
filled with feeling that stank;
It's a vault that creates an abberaton;
a replica; of the persona.
but words are speechless, and silence are louder,
the eyes is a railway to sorrow
passing unhampered through the hemisphere of our lives.

---

We're undotted, uncharactered in tablets,
like a fading charade, dancing into oblivion,
Our lives are like beautiful petals,
With withering tendencies
The agony within is like a sweet burden,
accompanied with weeping smiles,
still, yet still
the heart can no longer the weight of Calvary,
we're bursting into blue flames,
yet the woes remains undotted

POETIC NOTES & ANALYSIS

---

Undotted is a poem that expresses the travails of mankind, Sometimes penury and woes, agonies and sufferings are often an inkling of what they originally are. The ability to always feel pain during oppressing times always fade after layers and layers of suffering without any attempt of comic relief.

The Poet expresses the fact that people are often masters in hiding pain and this of course isn't because it is of their own choosing, buy because sometimes pain is too difficult to paint, and in any attempt to paint them will result in the use of euphemisms which of course means humbling understatement of the highest magnitude.

The Poet believe the ability to paint sorrow or pain is a craft and that most people, if not everybody lacks this skills. The poem is titled undotted because in a very distinctive way of trying to paint the effect of pain in our lives, we end up becoming speechless as as result of heavy heart, or we end up not recording even the most traumatizing aspect of what we've been through because speeches sometimes do not really convey the real images that the mind and thoughts really wants to express.
