The drive, behind the write..

Inspiration
 
 
I practice…
Oh…
Do I practice, I make sure everyday to complete the tumbles of my mental gymnastics
 
It’s a set routine, an intellectually broadening regime
That works better together than the most formidable team
I’m talking about writing, writing from a collection of thoughts
Through the creativity of my imagination
I’m talking about fighting, fighting for a smidgen of inspiration
Instead of relying on those epiphany realizations
That are like natural mountain streams in spring which seem to flow right out of my pen
 
Yes…
I’m sure you’re wondering how a stream can come out of a pen
Its when there’s a perfect harmonious rhythmic flow it never stops it just
Goes, goes and goes, beautifully orchestrating words that smother the paper
The pen moves faster and faster and faster drying the ink...
To a vapor
 
Well…
I suppose that’s what I get for not writing with a pencil
Now I must find another writing utensil, but that won’t be the end
It will take a much larger diversion to distract me from this writing excursion
I’m on a mission, I’ll gather my supplies I’ll check them twice
Since the difficult ride of creating a masterpiece isn’t easy to write
So when I’m traveling alone or I’m out on my own
I try to imagine
The caressing of fingertips, the tender touch of soft lips
The chemical rich spark through a kiss that becomes a sensational feeling
Comparable to a heavenly bliss,
 
Nooooo…
I’m not talking about a woman or a friend
I’m talking about my inspiration flowing quickly out my newly sharpened pencil it’s my Inspiration…
I’m talking about rewriting, erasing, and reigniting a passionate flame
I’m talking about rewiring, rewiring the neurotransmitters up in my brain
To come up with a fresh new idea
I’m talking about incorporating new techniques
Techniques to better my ability to preach to those whose hearts are in need
With their arms stretched out as they reach, reaching for something
Anything, and especially, words of…
Inspiration
 
So I’m digging deep
And I’m digging deeper, and deeper, wandering around as the creeper, without his sneaker
Searching for the word formulated sleeper the perspective eye opening keeper that will subtly influence your mind to become a more elevated thinker it’s something this world is in desperate need a person willing to bleed as they read, but in reality
they feed while they speak
I’m talking about feeding off your reactions securing my traction
So I can prepare the appropriate actions to best be able to impact your life
Because this…
Is what I strive for…
As I write…

Isn't it always part of the game of mental gymnastics to come up with something unique and attention grabbing while enjoying the process! Well, I think you did just that, and I've enjoyed the read. :-) Sharon

This poem is very inspiring, deep...transpiring to the flows of all us as
writers...to bleed what we write, to feed from those we touch, as well
as those that feed from us, our words. We in my mind are the souls
of the world. You're a very intelligent person, and yes on a mission,
which is felt by us, the readers, and understood by us, the writers.

Lalli, it worked as you have certainly inspired me... What a wonderfully creative piece that speaks
such truth. You know, I have found that sometimes simply a conversation with someone can fuel
the senses, and words just spew forth from the pen. Your word choice is exceptional, and the
transitioning meticulous. ...'Harmonious rhythmic flow'... Yes... this stanza dances for me...

I think that is what every writer strives for: to feel that we have made a difference, somehow, to someone.
