The Words

Gripping my pen in desperation Waiting for the words to appear Slowly it travels from my brain But just as quickly disappears The words don’t want to come They are stuck in the abyss so full of pain The pain that stifles my creation to the Point of no salvation, the words so sweet And gentle hide behind the dense fog of my imagination. What a nuisance this can be Tortured thru my own mechanization

I think many can relate to your words Carmen - my muse fails me from time to time and the words simply wont come or come and go in a fleeting moment and I can't get them down quickly enough:-( hugs Jan xx

Try it without: "the, it, are, be." Compare them both.
