Notes About The Poem

Feeding My Passion

Am I living a delusion? 
for I have
a mania, a verbo grapho obsession
oh yes, I have a fixation
for words and writing . . . 
sometimes, I am wrapped in melancholia
free-floating in strangeness
euphoria is when I am writing necro
unhinged, perhaps
maybe
I just have this urge to pen death
after all death has been my best friend
since forever it seems  
but, in general
this writing madness is my daily thirst
I must feed my passion
my compulsion, my ravings
in nature I get lost in my mind
I have a fancy for flowing streams
and quiet forests
where birds sing insanity . . . 
my ink must fall on white daily
or I am sure madness would invade
oh, lunacy may not be far off
I feel that I am locked in a bottle
unable to escape
oh, that is silly
these fits of mania are just
the hunger and need of
a writer . . .
