I DO NOT WRITE

I do not write, could this be content
Or just a mist across my mind
To stoke the fire of passion’s flames
Or pour ice water on stirrings there
I cannot write could this be true
A wall perhaps to hide from truth
A sigh will never blow a candle out
Can rainbows form without the rain
I wish to write of things that were
On pages blank like virgin snow
And all heart beats one day run out
And when alone no need to shout
I want to write so much is true
I want to write of love for you

Ah, I know the feeling of wanting to write but nothing seems to come. It is especially bad when you have something big, like love, to talk about and you don't know where to begin. I hate it when that happens. But it does happen to all of us at one time or another. ~L

Clearly, in the process of saying "I do not write, you have.

I recall having a so-called case of 'writer's block' once and decided the best approach to getting over it was to write about it.

Insightful. You reacted well and your declaration of love came through perfectly well.

Now sigh and watch the flame resisting ... and go on listening to your heart and write the next.
