Licked by the tongues of summer heat
The day burns slowly into ashes
As if a teardrop off the lashes
A drop of ink falls on the sheet
And I, as lonesome as that dot
A single mark upon the page
Sit locked inside an opened cage
In endless space, can’t find my spot
I search but do not see a reason
Why in the emptiness of thought
I cannot write a single word?
Why being free I feel imprisoned

------------------
I fell in love and kept on falling

Very good question Master...some can not wirte when happy, some can't stop writing....given my choice, I'd rather remain happy and never write a single word again than to be miserable to write

------------------
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints in our heart and we are never ever the same.

Thank you all for leaving footprints!!

THank Jim! That's how I write my poems also. I haven't read your work yet, but I'm sure your poetry is good.

I really do like this one Master.Freedom is an inside kind of thing-never a circumstantial one.You made a very interesting point.Also,the multi images provided by a single dot was well done.
Good work.
