My poetries falls on pieces of paper,
each line is soaked with my emotions.
I am becoming a poet—
a wanderer writing solivagant verses beneath the sky.
Sometimes, I forget the plot,
straying far from my destination.
In the silence of the night,
I soak my pillow with tears—
Each drop carries a poem I never dared to speak.
My sorrow dissolves into the ink,
creating verses no one reads, yet I keep writing.
I owe the sleepless nights my gratitude—
for holding space for my aching ballads,
for letting my sorrow sing itself into words.
Each stanza I write
is a string pulled from the fabric of my grief,
playing the melancholic music of my soul.
Behind the Words from My Poetries Fall Like Rain
1. Poetries
Usage: “My poetries falls on pieces of paper…”
While “poetry” is typically uncountable, “poetries” is a plural form used poetically to imply multiple individual compositions or emotional expressions, each carrying its weight. It reflects the evolution of language in modern poetic license.
2. Solivagant
Usage: “creating solivagant poetries with the universe…”
Derived from Latin solus (alone) + vagari (to wander), solivagant means “wandering alone.” Its use here suggests a poetic soul journeying through solitude—an exploration of one’s inner cosmos. This rare word brings both isolation and beauty into a poetic context.
3. Terminus
Usage: “break off from my terminus…”
From Latin terminus, meaning “end” or “boundary.” In poetry, it symbolically refers to a final destination or purpose. Breaking from one’s “terminus” can reflect lost direction or abandonment of goals, resonating with the emotional disorientation in creative processes.
4. Ballads
Usage: “preserving my sore ballads…”
The word ballad originates from Old Provençal balada, meaning “a song to dance to.” Traditionally, ballads narrate emotional tales. Here, “sore ballads” implies songs or verses born from pain—a modern reinterpretation of the form as a vehicle for healing through storytelling.
