What Gets My Pen Going
Inspiration
drives me
to carve my creations.
Inspiration
is what I leave behind
when my job is done.
Inspiration
that’s what
I aspire to create.
Inspiration
drives
the poets soul.
Inspiration
is the pressure
in the back of my mind.
Inspiration
digs its claws
deep into my skull.
Inspiration
the beginnings
of epic contemplations.
Inspiration
the reason
for muses.
Inspiration
where true serial killers
get their epiphany.
Inspiration
first dusting
of new fallen snow.
Inspiration
that charismatic
stain on the floor.
Inspiration
where I dip my pen
to spread my thought.
Inspiration
feeling of the blade
as it slashes the parchment.
Inspiration
the songs
that dig into your soul.
Inspiration
the first taste of blood
as you sink your fangs in.
Inspiration
the women
that have started wars.
Inspiration
is the affliction
of a dire poet.
Inspiration
will be
the death of me.
