Explosion In My Mind

Explosion of ideas in my mind
create mental pain I soon find;
here dreaming, my pen held in hand-
head pounding with new words so grand.
 
To be frank, the two will not meet;
paper is blank- head's still in heat!
What comes to mind was said before;
so what is left to say or explore,

of love or nature- peace of mind?
Of God, of self- woes of mankind?
Of life and death, of war and peace;
old themes need a brand-new release!

Burst open seed!  Show yourself bare! 
Guide my thoughts and words to prepare
poems shaped by creative light-
as gifts of my struggles and plight!
