Poem by Yahuza Usman

Published by ArtingArena on

My Feverish Pen

was wallowing in its misery,
small enough to subdue its melancholy,
bright enough to throw into relief
the dark plastic that cluttered it.

i heard that much rage was crawling
together with its flooded ink
trying to fetch fresh ink and wet its tip
that yearns to bleed words of relief.

my pen was trembling and about to vomit blue ink;
my pen’s ink would turn to ice
catching a deep glimpse of the scorching sun,
and my pen’s throat would swallow all the yearnings;
despair and outrage are feelings that accompany
the breath-stopping agony of rejection.

if i could be certain that my pain would not die
& the misery would not last till eternity,
soon, i’d be cuddling my pen with affection
& give birth to new soul-calming lines.
