A stirring of cells subliminal.
The echo of a word upon the harsh
walls of thought.

Poetically  preemptive as a swirl
of cream laces the Joe on a hot summer
night’s dream.  

Tapping tips in snips of verse, drudgery
and drivel’s curse.  Waning lights of wicks
in dance....Mind awhirr...poetic trance...

Driven....yet deathly silent upon the
pause....waiting...wondering....
When?

Crippled thoughts, crutched and shorn,
aimlessly wander the sands of
time...awaiting the swish of a
composer’s wand.

A solitary quill spirals into the endless
well of blackened waters.  Silent,
the deafened splash, caught within
the ripples of deep thought...

Drifting toward slumber....
A weary, haggard poet
rests...until when?

Barry,

I always imagined you penning every word in perfect flow.  
When I have those snips of broken verse, one couplet and no more,
I think one day I shall not endure this agony anymore.  

Not true?
Perhaps only in dreams...

"Until...when?"---Aye! That is the question!

--Let me answer it!--Tomorrow! For when you rise and open your eyes whatever you see, hear, or do will be inspiration enough to write another masterpiece!

LOVELY writing Magnus!

I am so happy I go back into the archives and read old poetry because, if i didn't, i would miss all these wonderful poems, including yours...

I liked how it was so descriptive, like a dream
VERY POETIC
