From Dusk Till Dawn

silent is my whisper
silent is my pen
silent is my wimper
should they dare
to listen in

nothing says this poem
nothing says this page
nothing says ideals
that i keep inside
my head

gone are all my feelings 
gone are all my words
gone are dreams
of wonders
that are very seldom heard

barren is my cleverness
barren is my clown
barren is the poet
i always kept around

absent is the artist
absent are the claims
absent is the messenger
that bids remember
his name

missing are the phrases
missing are the verbs
missing are the verses
that made souls 
to stir

away is the conscious
away with the pride
away are the love letters
somewhere locked inside

without a purpose
without a plea
without reservations
there is nothing
inside of me

zero inspiration
zero spark of light
zero taste of saddness
nothing with which 
to write

ya know I posted and deleted 4 other poems before I mastered one. Poetry without real inspiration, the flow, isn't an art to me... know what you mean somewhat, have a blessed day, Cindy

Well, your writer's block flows beautifully. You managed to cover all the reason's we feel empty when wanting to write but this shows inspiration is elusive till something lights the fire. You are on fire! Luv, Lizzie

You are so right! For real poetry, there must be a fire.

It's called writers block. In spite of your block, your words and stanzas were in excellence. God bless, yeah, she's back, and it's all good, "The Situation", many blessings and hopes, you are in my thoughts and prayers, Lucinda

Just writing unblocks the poet and lets the beast have his way.
