Slave To the Pen

Slave To The Pen.
.
An obedient driven slave to the pen
With an overactive fertile mind 
Words overflowing from the abundant
Fountain of my heart with little thought
Words weaved together in poetic line
.
Inspiration drawn
From the rich tapestry of life
Ink spilled
Within the midst of a sleepless night
. 
My sweet affliction
And my all consuming addiction
My mistress my life
My therapy
That makes more inclined 
To understand the world
People
And myself.
