[Poem] Afresh

I wish to start afresh
Think afresh
Write afresh

I wish to detach myself
Devoid of the strings,
I wish to fly
and in that state of bliss,
I wish to wield the pen again

I wish to see things
standing aloof, away, unseen
Where there are no tears to wet paper
and no laughter to hamper thoughts
Where incandescent ideas do not blur my vision
and darkness is a welcome guide.

But, would you grasp my thoughts then
Would you then revel in my joy, as you do?
Would you cry your heart out at my pains?
Would you still try reading between the lines?
