Writer's Block

 

I just need to write something.

Ideas bubbling under the surface,

Ready to have their souls bared on a blank page.

If only my mind was ready to release them from their captivity.


I just need to write something.

Today I shared a poem I was able to get out,

Praises from their readers shocked me 

like a surprise firework in the night sky.

Those technicolor sparks brimming with 

a shred of hope and a bounty of expectation.


I just need to write something.

My creativity is a cancer and I its unwitting victim.

When finally I'm aware, its murderous clutches have already found me.

My heart pounds in fear, my sanity on the haggard fringes.


I just need to write something.

Questions swarm around me, watching their prey

as they prepare to take me away from this place of terror.

Will I ever fly away from this turbulent storm?


I just need to write something.

I crave peace, I crave escape,

My soul ragged from its marathon of possibility.

Maybe the time has come, maybe I can finally be free.


I just need to write something.

The dark metal in front of me has a soft voice,

It whispers honeyed words of deadly calm.

One more thought, one more spark,

I have won, the ceaseless chatter is coming to its final end.

At last I can drown in my own tranquil darkness.

His Call

  He called me I was alone. He called me when I cried. He called me when I needed help. He called me when I lost a friend. He called me when a friend is all I could want. He called me when I wanted to fly. He called me when I dreamt. He called me when I was fired. He called me when I wanted to dance. He called me when I had been dumped. He called me when I listened to music. He called me when I wanted to see the waves. He called me when I didn't like the people I was with. He called me when I felt low. He called me when I couldn't be touched. He called me when my skin felt like fire. He called me when his skin felt like fire. He called me when he wanted to be touched. He called me when I told him no. He called me after I told him no. He called me and I couldn't exist anymore. He called me and I told him good-bye.

People

Do you ever stop and wonder, are the people that I care about now, going to be the same people that I care about later? I find myself asking this question every day. We meet so many individuals in our life, it's so hard to keep track of them all, especially when you are the kind of person that makes friends so easily. There are family members, friends, friends of friends, friends of friends of friends, friends that are sometimes friends but not really friends, co-workers, bosses, teachers, classmates, I mean the list of people can go on for hours. (If you haven't noticed, I like to list things. Lists create significance, therefore, I use them.) It is a habit of mine to make a lot of friends, and become really close to them all. The problem with that is trying to communicate with them that it becomes so difficult to keep up with. Can you imagine trying to remember every single birthday of every single friend on your friends list on Facebook? It just is not realistic. Granted...

Hard Work

Let's meet Bob. Bob is a clean Christian man. He wears a nice shirt, tie, and slacks every day. He has a nice, clean bright attitude about the world. Bob is very polite and is a man that wears his heart on his sleeve. The man does not smoke, nor drink, nor take drugs. Bob is a very keen rule follower as well. If someone told him that he was required to wake up early and shine his shoes everyday, he would most likely wake up at precisely 5:00 a.m. on the dot, and then shine his shoes to a brilliant glimmer. Now, our friend Bob here sounds like a nice man. Clean cut, honest, and friendly. But here's the problem. Bob has no job, no education, and still lives with his parents. Why is this, you might find yourself asking? Because Bob believes in the power of prayer. Now, you may found yourself asking why the heck am I dogging the fact that Bob prays. But, the fact that he prays is not the issue. The truth of the matter is that, Bob only prays. And what does he ask God for?  Crap....
