Writers' delight

Writers' delight

A Poem by Najam Us Saher
"

Power of words

"
WRITERS' DELIGHT
Every time when I am trapped in my loneliness,
My emotions I write,
When there is no one to comfort me,
My words solace me and stand by my side,
A moment of joy I gain,
When I complete writing,
Words are a writer's best companion,
In time of happiness and darkness,
Words create music in a writer's mind,
Their words flow on paper, 
Like wind flows and glides a wind chime.
Words of wisdom enlighten us,
Words of praise amuse us,
Words can make us happy and also can break us.
Such powerful are words,
Make sure to use them wisely,
Words are what which make a poem shine brightly.
Since these years I've realised,
Words made me gain confidence in myself,
They have shown me a path of light,
I follow this path to make my future bright,
I am lost immensely when I write,
Oh! What can I say?
Words are profound delight.

I love the sing-song quality to this, as well as the stupendous comparisons and round about parallels you have added to this, amazing.

Very interesting. I feel the same way with books, and I also like how you created a comparison of words to music in a writer's mind.

In addition to that, I was reminded of a saying by the lines "words of wisdom...and also can break us."

The saying goes, " sticks and stones can break my bones, but words may never hurt me." Your poem makes me question that idiom because words can make us feel a variety of emotions including the negative ones.

However, I still do agree with you about how delightful words can be.

Something I think most if not all here can relate to. "Oh! What can I say? // Words are profound delight"
I just love those lines, they have this whimsy quality while still keeping to the soul of the poem.
And to add some constructive criticism as well :P
On the line "Words made me gain confident in myself" confident should be written as confidence in this instance. That's all though, great work all around!
