Writer's Block

Writer's Block

A Poem by YouoweYoupay
"

How long has it been?

"


'Ah, it's raining thoughts again.'

Time spills in waste
A nose, two eyes, and ears,
And a tongue for taste.

Five senses.
No more, no less.
Sunrises and Night falls
With no charm, no suspense,
A nest for dreary mothballs

A vacant street where
Journeys are stuck
And it's pointless to stare
Scoffing at the clock

Until it starts to rain
I scrunch another page
And reality and beyond
Become my stage.

Maidens, Knights
A good old mage
And hazardous missions
Athletes, Rivals
And tall ambitions

Genies in bottles
Yearn to be free
Stars and space shuttles
and infinities

Mortals and Greek Gods
And those that are neither
The strangest love odds
That you have ever seen

Past lives, reminiscence,
And incarnation.
Tragedies that crush
A merry celebration.

Mistakes, regrets and
Morals we learn
From fantasy pages
We eagerly turn

So many worlds
Through a pen
I've sought

Yet once I breathe in
To view my great thought
It seems as if
I'd disfigured a once
Healthy face

A rough sketch with
Only flawed points
Stiff curves to frown at
Misplaced joints
And unfitting colors

A trash bin indifferent
To all the wrinkled mess
How long has it been,
I quietly confess,
Since I last wrote a piece of prose
I candidly enjoy and proudly posses?

I believe the writer's block had ended. The poem was very good. I like the many thoughts and places you took me in the poem. A very good ending to a entertaining poem.
