Ink staining blank pages,
sentiments caught fire
blurb in the moment,
a notion for the ages
simple inspiration's nectar,
provocation's bedevilment
mockingbirds of emotion
all that is sacred and trivial
tempting a blind ear to hear
invoking silent eyes to see
tainted lips tawdrily sung eternal
of simpatico notes on parchment
one's own big blast of creation
poetry in the making
