Inspiration may take a while.......Oh, but when It comes!!

Inspiration

Am I the next sheet of paper
In your jeweled notepad
'So glad I made it to the top

'Still seeking atonement
In that very special moment
When the tip of your pen will drop

Tattoo your heart on me
Word angel of poetry
I'll be so proud to carry
Your Extraordinary
So Please
Tattoo your heart on me

In sweet anticipation
Of soothing inspiration
Let your warm current..... cover me today

The moment I will treasure
And I'll serve at your pleasure
Without you there is nothing I can say 
 
Tattoo your heart on me.......

Love this one, Chuck. It is truly inspired. I can feel that in its lyrics. Wouldn’t mind another, additional stanza to it. Thank you for sharing this!

I can relate to this and the feeling of the inspiration that flows when it arrives. :)

Wonderful imagery Chuck.. I think of the paper’s anticipation knowing the song writer’s brilliant reputation. But then the paper’s depression having but a few words or lines written before it’s balled up and thrown in a trash can full of other such disheartened papers. Only the writer and his pen know how many papers must be exercised to discover true inspiration!

My good friend, you have created a priceless gem with this one! So uplifting, positive, inspirational and charming. A fav.... When my paper sits there, nothing but white* My pen and I oft have bitter fought fights* In the end poetry's muse stops our war* Chiding us for going a bit too far.*

Oh my!! This is beautiful in so many ways. When sentences wrap around paragraphs and then- verbs wish to have their say. Yes, magic happens. I have written a few poems like this. "you are poetry" is one of my favorites. This is very clever and creative. :) Brandy
