Dry Love

Every time I open a Journal to write a new entry, A blank page fills my mind.

Until I can find the words to fill the lines, I feel that he/she is looking at me in a dull gaze.

We stare at each other. It's a love that only I can express but like the pen, it can feel dry.

Until I fill it with the words that beg to get out, It stays blank. 

The only touch is when I press the pages and flick them by my thumb. And that is enough.

What a uniquely written poem that I internally understand as a kind of writer's block for words and for love until both get that touch. Brilliant unless I am wrong of course and if it went over my head you wrote a master piece that allows reflection and mirrored understanding. Bravo.
