When My Thoughts TurnTo You

Wondering shall I write again
Its still too early to tell
Nothing seems to flow
Going through this dry spell

Erasing the melancholy blue
I need removal of doubt
By whetting my appetite
In words to break my drought

My muse stroking word keys
To excite with reaction  
Stimulating with offerings
To the sounds of satisfaction  
  
When my thoughts turn to you
Arousing me into verse
You slide over my tongue
I know it is your words I thirst

This reminded me of when i was going through a dry spell and wrote "Which One Color Should I Use?"  I think it is one of my better ones, although I started out with a blank, perhaps, sharing the same quest as you.  (I'm not sure if it's in #30 or the archives.)  In my mind I wondered how I could say the fewest words (instead of paintingwith a thousand words).  I think you did a very nice job!  I enjoyed this and your skills as a poet.

a poet always writes, even if it's not on paper, the voice is always there

we just have to be still enough to hear it
