Prisoner of Poetry

Captive of spells by all rhymes and verses
Seized in tangs of thoughts and emotions
I gain joy, love, comfort, strength and wellness 
They rob my stress and tensions.

As ink spills down from my deepest blood streams
I release my imagination with thrill
All my hopes, wishes, aspirations and dreams
all freed by the tough handcuffs of my quill.

Poem is a sanctuary of my peace
A cloister where I ponder and meditate
Another calm place to pray on my knees
I feel, slavery of words is my fate.

Devoured by my passion of poetry 
I’m like a craving monster, so hungry.

Nice one. Too bad it didn't make it as a contest entry. It'd be a great contender, for sure.

This one would have been a good contender, I think. Sometimes, we miss the contest, but we never know when it might fit into another one. Thanks for sharing about what encourages you to write. Sara K
