Writer's block


There are times 
when I feel neglected
by words and rhymes 
that often define me. 
I have this perrenial need 
to be alone 
and be with whatever
I can write about. 

They keep me company
they make me feel 
understood and accepted. 
And when I can't find anything
not a syllable to 
start my lines, 
I grope and seek desperately
not wanting to be alone.

My own thoughts 
keep me company
on the occasions 
when I'd rather be misunderstood
than prove myself right. 

And right now, I am alone.
It's happening again
as it's happened
many times before. 
I am deserted, 
void of eloquence, 
drained of  blood 
that drips me ink...
