Carmen Sunshine Poet Free verse

The Words

Gripping my pen in desperation
Waiting for the words to appear
Slowly it travels from my brain
But just as quickly disappears  
The words don’t want to come
They are stuck in the abyss so full of pain
The pain that stifles my creation to the 
Point of no salvation, the words so sweet
And gentle hide behind the dense fog of 
my imagination.  What a nuisance this can be
Tortured thru my own mechanization

Jan Allison March 4, 2016 at 2:59 PM I think many can relate to your words Carmen - my muse fails me from time to time and the words simply wont come or come and go in a fleeting moment and I can't get them down quickly enough:-( hugs Jan xx
