Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Wishing Willing Wanting Not To Write

From time to time

Every once in a while

Now and again

Though as much as I love to write

Due and to because

What I choose to write about

Comes from and down to from my inner heart

And on that basis and although it is cathartic

My own version and art form of expressing

Delving into documenting and revealing

Exposing my true self innermost feelings

As a caveat it also comes at the expense 

And certain of cost exposing and opening up

Old wounds I have as yet to heal from

So every now and then though it pains me

I have to take a break and refrain from

That which I have come to love and rely on

But nothing worthwhile ever doing

That brings one happiness or enduces pleasure

Afterwards evaluating the positives and negatives

You are then willing and able to give up

Isn't really viewed as a loss surely then

Is it

As what exactly have you lost or learned 

And that also goes and applies to all concerned
