Cerebral overload.
Emotive wordplay.
he composes
Heartfelt views.
Descriptions vivid.
Bizarre emotion.
he writes,
expecting to be understood.
It is madness.
to hope for miracles.
Still, he doth pen
all those leafs of paper.
Its all a matter
of . . . you pat him on the back,
he'll do you.
Analytical encumbered.
Intellectually second-rate.
Poet without verse,
simply doodling.
Delusional, desperate,
unfilled lines,
meaningless prose.
Difficult to find his raison d'être.
Imagined ideas.
Ground-swell of feelings.
Leaking from his brain,
these wonderful thoughts,
writing them
they are indecipherable.
Ravenous need for THEM.
To be praised by THEM,
failing.
When that happens
paranoia’s
gory teeth.
sink into the writer's psyche,
tormenting, hovering
literary death.
For there is a season
for collapse.

Jerry- that's my angst you're writing about, I am disturbed you have those feelings considering all you've done and continue to do.  Maybe that is just a feeling we all deal with as writers. Sounds like you need a hug

Aw, thanks for the hug my friend. Oh, you know writers and poets, and God forbid we are both. We are never satisfied. We always have to have a crisis within our subconscious. Thank you ebm and cheer up. It isn't terminal, this angst. I hope.

JP..expressing that verve is like pulling weeds, no matter how many you pull/express and how tired you get, there are more things to express..almost a rabid need to keep penning and a overwhelming void when your pen quits speaking for a few moments..or so I have been told...enjoyed your spasms here guy

D.S., you hit the nail on the proverbial head about the overwhelming need to write, write, write. I don't usually have writers block, and have been known to arrogantly say there was not such thing. When I do get what I assume if writers block it NEVER last more than a couple of days. Thank you for being here.

Prasad, I appreciate that you found my work interesting enough to read it and comment on the words. Thanks.
