I want to write
but
I can't express the horizon of my dreams
I know they could become reality
even if only to be found on paper
there're in my make believe world
cluttered with cob webs and debris

How do I keep the ink silky and liquefied?
A flowing current of passions depths?
I find there is no raven black or midnight blue
Only my state of mind bruised beyond healing
This wounded soul is callused
scorched by the searing heat
drifting aimlessly without a compass

A bloody river runs through my veins
A tormenting flood of despair
that keeps me locked inside
Desperately I seek a well of life giving water
that will impart once again to my brittle bones
All I find is a drowning torrent
killing me slowly
taking my last breath
keeping me a slave
to this rage of desire

The glare of the paper blinds me
controls my inner words
I have lost my way in the darkness
without hope of change
Death a somber reminder of the vapor I am
I am but dust without a voice

falling

falling

falling

The truth locked inside forever
of how my pen would truly write

(I haven't posted in awhile and it appears my pic has went bye-bye....I really do not look like an X!!)

Good,Good,Good,
I too, wish that my pen would spit out all that I am withholding.

i echo the above....
"The glare of the paper blinds me "

i know what that feels like...a fantastic image.
nice channeling of frustration.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

Hey wranx....ahhhhh don't be so modest!  I have been checking out your work and plan to post some feedback.  Your ability to "spit" it out is remarkable.  

bsquirrel.....I am definately in my hour of writers block.  Wants to come out, but just can't seem to get it together. You seem to have no problem whatsoever let'n the ink flow. Great poetry!  

MidnightSon.....boy you coined it well,  FRUSTRATION!  Seems that has me bound in many ways.  Can't seem to get that glare out of my eyes.  

Thanks everyone for readin and writin!  Catch you later.....off to work now.
