To Write

Matters of thought that may be written to vent
As time and days are difficult instead of ease
To write to find that place where words spill and spread
Spent minds messages that pay more mind rent

Measuring each passing thought if the value is worth the type
To think to write what is in mind as passage to the next line
A verse a phrase a sentence to read each word piece by piece
Merging to become a master of bits woven crocheted and knit

Sewn through till new lines emerge with what is written 
Lifted are those gifted to figure the eight styles of wisdom
Poetically a tale of lost writing into my minds spiral well
Distant has been these days spent without recording 

The data I find to be useful in time to look back upon from my own writing
Only now I see the beauty of me that is written lyrically
Denying myself my most deep of thoughts
One day to remember the struggling writer me

To write to read to see these changes
To read then write the changes that I see
Eventually it passes the moments my mind lapses 
From the joy of writing each day that passes never away

Collapsing are those thoughts to not write
Leaving me with my own minds madness inside
Torn is the tearing from the fear of sharing
Revealing to myself my conundrumous enclosure called life

James Inman November 28, 2017 at 4:30 AM I guess I am unlike many here. I have no need to write, as cathartic and pleasing as it may be (and it is). I write because I choose to for the pleasure not for the need. Your wonderfully written poem suggests a passion that drives you. Kristina Whitmore November 28, 2017 at 11:14 AM On days where I find it the most troubling to overcome a blockade to write, was when I wrote this piece and my short story 'A Well'. Attempting to crawl from below a feeling that holds me back in the sense of direction for my poetry or writings. I appreciate this comment and how this poem did invigorate my inner passion. Thanks James for taking the time to read and comment! XO
