Unwritten

"This poem was meant to be unwritten.
But I am writing it now and have thereby changed destiny."
                            - Kamand Kojouri

Unwritten words call out to me
      to let them fill the page, 
Unbidden, they come with a plea, 
     "Let us your thirst assuage", 

Bitten by the poetry bug, 
I let them flow out free, 
Smitten am I with words that tug
my heartstrings' penning spree, 

Hidden within my soul, they spring
          like a fountain of joy, 
Once written, they become the string
          of verses you enjoy.
