Writer's Block

Insights are hard to come by

Inspirations even harder, sigh

Poems are the hardest to write

I haven't written one in a while

Is this what they call

Writer's block? No

It's laziness, that's all

And that's the deadliest foe

The greatest way ever, to me

To overcome this, I reckon 

Is to just see and be

Taste, hear, count seconds

There goes a pretty butterfly

It's matrix of colours

Inspiring me to try

And I build word towers

I see the hourglass

The sand falling and falling

Until the spent grains amass

And there it sits, mocking

Taunting me, until I picked up my pen

Out flow the words of how and when

I've lost all my lifetime

Hours turn to years

Until the death bells chime

My longing turns to tears

By the way

It was all a poem

I'm still whole

My brain ready to roam

The next best way

Is to question, question

Do that, don't delay

And get answers with passion

See where it goes

Someplace good, I'm sure

And, voila, we have a poem

Just like I assured
