...You know how you feel when you've "fasted" for a while?! That empty light-headedness? Happens to me if I don't write... aye, "writer's block" (she says, pretentiously,!) has set in and I'm sufferin'! LOL Kate xx



THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING...


I'm in over my head, but it's all under my feet.
I'll wake up tomorrow and have this thing beat.
I'm testing the water and feeling for lies,
but thoughts hide round corners to take by surprise.

Between Truth and Reality there's great, yawning space.
The masks that we're wearing conceals the bare face.
A fantasy life is like clutching at straws
whilst real-life tide crushes with deafening roars.

Existing in twilight, becoming a shadow,
the mind doesn't register and breathing is shallow.
Attempting to live life by just what we feel
disconnects all our wires and makes us surreal.

Well, some good work is coming out of your writer's block. This is an excellent write. I, like La Belle, have written a couple of poems about writer's block.

"Between Truth and Reality there's great, yawning space."
Really nice line. Nice up-beat, down-beat poem. Bad pun intended...

I like this so much Kate, great rhyme and flow, I doubt you ever have writer's block. I have only had it one day and not to be defeated, that day I wrote a poem about writers block.
