Do I really want to write a poem?
Is there really any option?
If I don't
Thoughts will spin
Round and round
Hitting the insides of my head
If I lay my head down upon a pillow
They will color my dreams

When morning comes I will awake to find
They are lying upon my lips
Waiting still
To be dipped in ink
And scrolled across a page

Words they have a life of their own
I know they will never let me be
So its useless for me to flee
I'll just keep surrendering to their power
As long my fingers have enough energy to stroke the keys

Lovely friend; Spoken with the heart of a gifted poet! Hugs, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

!!WHEW!! I thought I was the only one whose poetic tendencies were a bit haunting,daunting , and rather troublesome at times   Kudos

Songbird:

This really strikes a responsive chord in me.  Sometimes I will lie in bed and fight to stay there, knowing all the while, I am going to have to get up and write!  I enjoyed the poem.
