So many stories

Never quite finished

So many poems

Well on their way

 

Thoughts thrown on paper

Ink by the gallon

Time is a bandit

That steals the day

 

The zeal to purge

The demons and fairies

Plumb deeper than dreams

To chase the obsessions

 

Give life to the letters

Dispel with reason

The voices and visions

Unleash true confessions

 

Trapped in the period

Tangled in fear 

Ambition was murdered

The pen lies still, here.
