Searching for the right words

My fingers
curl around
thoughts…
creating indentations
in more than one way.

My pen—
a prisoner with life sentence
condemned by words
or lack of them!

The page is empty.

The words—
clumsy like a child, a jokester, a madman,
or a psycho.

My thoughts—
my friend, my lover, my enemy
never leaves me
even when I rest
my thoughts provoke
and explore the possibilities...
 

My poor pen—
silently knows my minds mêlée
of finding just the right words
and my paper—
suffers the pressure,
I feel its pain,
the embracement of infertility
and the page...
                       remains empty!

Yes it's true of any poet, just finding the
right words to express the 'minds mêlée'
Great poem Tracey.

Well, Tracey, you did a great job of filling up this page.
I like your poem and, perhaps more important, I love the way
you write. - Gene.
