" Its Great to be back"

Ashes Of Poetry


The ink of my thoughts
Is evaporating
My mind is lost, in a mist
Of doubt.

I’ve dropped my quill
Shattering it
Into a million pieces
That were immediately
Carried away
Into the four winds
Writing upon a vortex
Of imagination.

The innocent blank parchment
I once reach for
Is no longer blank
But stained with
The ashes
Of past memories
When Passions ruled

Those poetic moments
Are now lost
Like rain drops in an ocean
Within the guilt feelings
Of desires denied.

I SEE THAT THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 2008 AND CERTAINLY SHOWS THE 'UPS' AND 'DOWNS' OF POETS, AS THEY 'WAIT' FOR INSPIRATION TO RETURN. SO GLAD THAT IT...ALWAYS, ALWAYS... DOES. THANKS FOR SHARING, MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Nothing more exiting than to go falling into a cosmic black hole, the problem is...how we get out of there?
And, how we fulfill those denied desires?

Drained and void...that's how I felt when this happened to me. Have no fear. It is short lived! I promise. Sad is this poem.

While your quill may be shattered, it did give you an oportunity to write about your the ashes of poetry that each of us has felt. But, you are such a master, I am sure that you will find a ballpoint pen or computer keyboard to reconfigure those ashes and give them life and they shall erupt into a more beautiful Phoenix.

God bless you. Kathy
