Creative work

When my fingers dance on the keyboard, clicking the keys and making a letter, or a symbol, or a special character for that matter, I create something that was non-existent a second prior. Out of all the possible realities at that very instant, I chose to type these keys in a specific order making these words come to life.

When I write poetry, I feel a sense of engineering that I am orchestrating the composition out of nothing. It’s like creating a symphony in thin air. Where there was nothing, there is now poetry. On a once-blank canvas.

As I write along, I realise that this creation of mine means something. I realise that I am putting my words in an intellectual sequence for those to be comprehensible. Those words mean something, probably everything to the person crafting those words.

I feel a cathartic revolution inside me, as I run my fingers up and down the keyboard. Somehow I realise now that writing, expression and narrative are my only true love.

Because this creation is priceless and timeless. Ageless and omnipotent, my words will live. Even when I won't. Long after I am dead, humans will look at the words, sentences, and stories written by DeathFuel and will feel inspired, energised and enlightened, even if for a short while.

Because my words have the captivity of a prison and the acceptance of an ashram. Anyone and everyone who so desires is welcome to bathe in this intoxicating nectar, and purge their soul of the impurities.

I started writing poetry when I was 20 years old. Vividly remembering how and when I wrote my first poem, I now, after 400-odd poems, find myself absolutely enthralled by the strength these words have given me.
