Christy Stover Poet Rhyme

A Silent Mind

a vicious silence
feeds on my mind
stifling my essence
a curse designed
       to destroy and erase
       all authentic creativity
       leaving not a trace
       of poetic ability
my pen overflows
with eager ink
but the silence grows
forbidding me to think
        my mind must be restless
        I despise this peace
        allow my pen to be reckless
        this silence must cease!
