Ink and Paper

So we meet again, said the paper to the pen
It must be fate
Just a grueling date
Maybe it's love
Or a forewarning from above

Why must you be this way
We are just here to play

Must I be forlorn
Laid down for this ploy

Theatrical relevance marked forever
A dance of words with cause to stir
Flowing to the rhythm they beg us to sing

Borders and guidelines
Rules and restrictions
You are only asked to compose fiction
No voice real
Only what they demand you feel

Channeling creativity
Thoughts always remain free
I can glide upon you candidly
Or mark you with intent
They do not confine
Only challenge a skill earned willfully

Have you lost your mind
I am open and free
A blank space to be filled with spirit
Wince writing first began
What defined there in

Beginnings lost to time
Honor to be given
Their path is ours to exploit

Endings mark what is said
While you daydream in shadow
Shaded like a learned child
Only given way to control
Have you not wrought soul

You lay, open and endless
Yet your own edges restrict
What now thee say

I was cut this way

The title caught my attention. I liked your thoughts on writing.
"Have you lost your mind
I am open and free

I listen to music and read many poems. Give me reasons to write. Words come out easier when the poem is free of waste. I like the used of the language in your poem. Left the reader with something to think about. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

It is true though, many want to place restrictions on poetry that it has to be or cannot be a certain way when all we want to do is sit and play, with words of course. A great write; thanks for sharing!

So many rules, right?
You can't use that word, I don't like the flow, your grammar ugh!

Once we had no rules, just write!
We just want to play!

Yes indeed! Be yourself and write what you feel as poetry is between you and your muse!
