By Paul Wilson A thousand poems left un-done Words and memory a distant haze Searching catacombs of my mind Endless thoughts lost in a maze Stories my heart yearns too weave Dreams and visions I long too share Always just out of reach Or were they ever really there I could write of heartache and sorrow But have no more tears too cry A love poem would be nice If I could find the words I’d try At least I’ve got my memories For now or so it seems Tomorrow they too may be gone Like yesterdays dreams The words use too come so easy Writing my heart was all I knew Visions of the mind no longer come Is this the end of what I love too do? Remember my poems from the past When the words flowed like wine The years have taken their toll I have no more visions in my mind Close the book within my heart No more ink in the pen This will be my final poem I’ll never write my heart again ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Oh Paul, we all go through that feeling, that writer's block. You will be writing again. A poet is born, not made. You just need some inspiration! I have written several, including "This Should Be Where I Lay My Pen Down". I do understand you. |

Dear Paul, the flow and the talent are there don't you see? The muse just waits for you to listen, trusting fully .... Memories may fade, dreams are born anew whenever you let the sun shine within your soul ... You are a beautiful, powerful poet and it is not time to put down the pen! Love, Margherita |

Paul~ 'Always just out of reach Or were they ever really there' Seems pretty clear to me that you found the ink for this great piece~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
