Prisoner of the Pen With Bonus Stanza From Darren White
"Last letters fall off a lonely page, punished the pen
sits silent, recovering from past strokes of sage."
Bluebirds sing along with Springs triumphant return
red and yellow tulip's splendor fall out in front of me
my inquisitive mind inhales nature's fresh awakening
as my pen stares off aimlessly to another place in time
Write for me they plead, but my muse has gone to sleep
hardened by yesterday's trials, I remain empty and weak
these eyes reach out towards where the butterfly flutter
but my heart floats away up into the recesses of the sky
Calliope, Thalia, Polyhymnia, why do you sleep so far
Euterpe, sing your siren song in my desperate deaf ear
fingers frozen in time above ink wells slowly drying
in starry skies eluding songs sing us a seductive melody
Thanks Darren...hope this sparks your poetic fire
