Poetry.~ the other side

when you can't find vertical words

      of musical magic,

  each building from a blank sheet

     climbing to a glorious expanse.

   completing its composition of

elevating elements

but instead 

you're at the edge of your mind 

      reaching for words

 when dreams won't whisper

      the cravings of poets

nor bend the fabric of time and space.

.

visions lost~

      as periphery crosses farther

over to the other side to oblivion

nothing passes within your threshold

          where poetry exists

promising nothing

              but an empty void.

      blank parchment

      and a reluctant pen out of ink

and no refills of ink readily available...some nights are like that when we are struggling to find the words to match the thoughts.
Bent Fabric...I like that....there was a musical group in the sixties who had an instrumental called Alley Cat...
I can just hear the poet in the alley mewing to the muse for inspiration.

I hear ya..i think we poets
all go through a time when
we just sit and stare at
that blank piece of paper
hoping for creative thoughts
and words..thanks Betty so much
