Writer's Block
Hours spent in wondering
About absolutely nothing –
The unwritten poem
Too routine to read,
Too dreary to discuss.
Contemplating what could have been
Belief in magical endings –
Impossible outcomes
Too stunning to let go
Too enchanted to write off.
I’ll write it
Yet don’t
Still hoping to receive
Some sign
Not to shelve it…
You’ve got the right idea!
Just go with it.
Free flow
Sans censorship.
There’s no rhyme here
Just extensive obstruction.
No reason for longing
After something
That simply cannot be…
What could live up to
These –
Impossible expectations?
Even if you won’t return
These feelings,
Please
Don’t let me go.
