creating cultural connections

September 11, 2009

It sparks in the mind

with just a little flicker –

random thoughts or memories

Perhaps something of

make believe or to

make yourself believe

But it don’t matter

the thought or memory

or whatever may be lingering

Cause all that matters

is that you’d rather…

let it out than let it stay in

Because you know

when mindful weeds grow

indeed, in deed they show

So you strive to scribe

any words to describe

aching for letters to find the words

But the thoughts go numb

and so do your thumbs

a silence releasing groans

Cognitive constipation

Throbbing unwritten verse

Symptoms of the writer’s curse

After days of rest

Familiar thoughts reignite

Arousing your crave to rewrite

Wedded letters birth words

giving light to a verse

rhyming for better or worse

Releasing the tension

of your frustrated mind

past, present, future unwind

Poetry making love

toes of pages curl

a silence releasing moans

Spurting ink to the end

ending as it began,

with a story in my hands.
