An Old Desire Returns

Lost in a mysterious haze
Not a sound or visible sign
Maybe found in a wild daze.

The need to write runs free
Veins hunger wildly for verse
A need that many don't see.

Like a caged fury only waiting
Wanting to see the ink flow
So alive and without fading.

A writer finds the right pen
The hunger makes ink drip
Finally, he starts to write again.
