Emotional Unblock

With timid strokes
Pen in hand
The words are drawn
On paper in ink.

The image left
There to stand
Verbal portrait
Of what my heart thinks.

Tiny fissure
Where words jump
Are not the fault
Of nib come to fail.

But rather points
Of past pain
Come back to haunt
Upon parchment pale.

There they are stayed
For all etern
For no power
Have I to toss away.

‘Tis easier
To quiet pen
Than memory
For another day.

Dark,

I'm not quite sure if it is a good thing or not. Time will tell, don't you think?

Thank you for reading.

Hi, Sandra.

"But rather points
Of past pain
Come back to haunt
Upon parchment pale"

That sounds like a sentiment that I would embrace in my own writings--a vivid image and a short, sharp-pointed memory.

That is grief and pain well written. And if this poem is about you, I hope that the pain will ease with time...

This is the best image of writing a poem I've read. I hope these sad days have passed you.

Straight into the mouth of the unknown"
