alchemy
everywhere time inscribes his indelible marks
there remains one untainted corner
beneath a thousand wounds
of boiling sensitivities
our hearts are a lab
creating poetic alchemy
a lonely place where the unloved
transform melancholy into poetry

This is how poets hide their emotions in poetry or should I say let their emotions come out.

You are so right. It is a delicate combination of the two. oets write about certain things in life
and in those words are hidden their own experiences, feelings, and thoughts\.
Thank you for sharing your insightful thoughts. Truly appreciate it.
