As I stare
at the pristine white
oblivion,
pure delight.

To another time...
in trance
for a moment
by chance.

Longing, desires
for a moment set aflame
small fires.

Sighing,
for what i do not know
mercy oh i do
just go with the flow.

Tell you my wants
how i truly feel?
if you break my heart
would i ever heal?

After a comment from a friend, some clarification may be needed with this poem.  In regards to the pristine white... I am actually referring to a clean white piece of paper... that pristine white one encounters just before they madly start scribbling away into, sometimes, that other world of make-believe    T.

I enjoyed this piece.

This was truly beautiful.  I love to write too.  I know the feeling here very well.  Great work!  It seems that all the world is hell, sometimes, but that white sheet of paper can change all that, and the world can, for a time, be heaven.

Tara,

     Well done! You've captured the happiness as well as the trepidation that writers feel when faced with that "pristine white oblivion". I am often asked "Why do you write?" The answer I give - "because I have to". Writing is the only way that I can show my true thoughts and feelings. It's an exquisite release tinged with the fear that through my words I am exposing myself. Your poem describes it beautifully.
