The Mind of a Poet

I wish to be locked away for an hour, a moment, or maybe a day 
There I will fiddle with my expressions
Of tomorrows early regressions 
Perpetuating my addiction to the paper and pen
Here I denounce my inner self, and then
May my twirling thoughts come to me now?
Like a an insane poet 
That word will come to me “I vow “
Hours of silence and inner madness
May bring me to utter sadness 
The sun shown its arrival that early morning 
To wake unsettled here I was yawning   
My brain was weary from a night of dreams 
Where I saw nothing but letters and had terrible screams
Is there no place I may pass without query? 
Of my work that I will make my story

Hi Laura, make sure you have your Muse with you when you do that. It sure would be lonely with only writer's block. LOL!!! Great job! ~Joseph
