Writers Block And LoveA Poem by LalaThe presence of a writers block Always peeks around the corner I see it, don't want to greet it I feel it but don't want to meet it It's persistent but I'm resistant Wishing it remained distant But it always shows me it's existent I want to take that alphabetic walk But not around the damn writers block Every time my mind begins to move slow I will run into it eventually though And even if I'm never inviting Even when I'll always be fighting I know essentially it's a part of writing So here I am once again Struggling with words I'm juggling My mind drifts and strays It shifts but suddenly stays Rests at the topic of love And now it's all I can think of It's the subject on which I dwell Because I see a parallel What if my loving is like this pen Some days it can write Without a hassle in sight Effortlessly on paper it flows Writing phrases before my hand even knows But some days it's too hard And the pages remain unfilled Making me think I'm unskilled Because it's a poem I can't build So what if my loving is like this pen Some days it seems impossible An obstacle too high to climb When that happens I guess I just lost my balance To love is too much of a challenge Just give me a little time I promise I will love again Because other days it's all I can Love will flow from me fluently Like the way ink touches pages beautifully Like there's no effort present An event without my intent It's here like it never went So the thing about wanting to write And the desire to giving your love Is that they can both have a block You can't do it around the clock I'll always want to write I'll always want to love But even if it's what I wish I could always do There will be days I'm unable to It won't me and it isn't you It's what I have to embrace That always can't be the case All I can hope is that the ink will never run dry And the love in my heart never says goodbye
