Cacoethes

  Writing is compulsion and yearning within,
           for me a longing that I cannot ignore;
  and in my nightly dreams words weave and begin,
                    I start to write and enter a magic door.
  Driven by deep thirst and hunger I will write,
            hours and hours slip away till I have it right;
  mountains of discarded papers pile on rug,
                     as words embrace me in a poetic hug. 

  Penning words is my passion and obsession,
         there is a joy to etch my words on paper;
  to not write would mean for me sad depression,
                ideas must be penned or become vapor.
  I have an infatuation for the dark,
          a cemetery will always make words spark;
  have an intensity for poets of old,
                     their poetry has great wisdom to enfold.

  In nature my hair is a streaming river,
          as I watch clouds sailing across the blue sky;
the beauty of nature makes my pen quiver, 
                a flowing stream and birds singing makes me sigh.
  And sitting still in natures decay are threads,
          and where my poetic pen quietly treads;
like a child in prayer I find the right word,
                then, the cacoethes soars like a wild bird
