Poem Writer’s Block

I have a thought…

But I’m unable to write it out

Expressing it’s so difficult…

And words are so scarce right now

I’m thinking about something…

I know that it’s worth sharing

Writer’s block must be my condition…

I feel so helpless… and lost

I’m surrounded by motivation…

I feel the energy of excitement

But the words I seek are holding me hostage

I’m restless…

I shall forget my frustration for now

And focus on a meaningful task in the interim

Take a walk perhaps…

Or simply a short drive

Disregard the ink and paper for a while…

And remember life as it’s before me

Temporary conditions are facts of existence…

A dead-end in writing’s no exception

Be prepared for when the fountain flows again…

And record those depictions in wonderful words preponderance

The Winds of Change Poem

The winds of change are eternal
Sustaining life internal
As the sun burns brisk in the sky
The winds of eternity are dutifully alive
With the refreshed wind comes new life
And the old and faded, are relieved accordingly

Night Whispers

Whispers of The Night Poem

Whispers resonate in the night...
Homage paid to the old trite
Giggles occasionally, and stamping feet
Exaggeration in full competition...

Acting out the notorious repetition

Chatter and gossip- the night stood still...
Not even a break for a unified thrill
Blab, whine and scandal...

No end in sight, except daybreak perhaps...
Yeah, oh yes...
Wow, someone said- 'goodnight'!

An engine started, and suddenly there was one less

Then, the goodbyes became contagious
A deafening silence followed
The night was finally liberated and free!

The divine sounds and songs became alive...
The natural creatures rejoicingly subscribed
Whispers correctly transformed...
The night's essence duly reborned

I Feel Like Writing a Poem

Poem: I feel like writing a poem

I feel like writing a poem...

Something about the glorious way I feel

Something about the striking things I see...

Something about the thankfulness for good health and well-being

I feel like writing a poem...

Because I am blissfully alive

A heavenly thought about love...

Happiness and more to cherish

I feel like writing a poem...

Everyone’s around relishing the moments

Wonders of genuine life...

Experiences of awe to treasure

I feel like writing a poem...

Zephyr is so nicely comforting

The welcomed breeze of the firmament and the faithful sun...

The dear ocean's so enticing

Time's being faithfully transformed...

Into words of eternal appreciation

The abundant future's only a heart beat away

Every precious moment in time...

Is really poetic and real to its core

I feel like writing a poem...

About something to truly treasure...

The celestial joy which brings humbleness and prayer

To a poor soul in endless need of divine sustenance

Why?

Poem Why?

The word of curiosity…

The symbol of insights

We want to know…

That’s why we ask

Full of knowledge…

The answers wait

Not always welcoming…

It’s the response still

Seeking the truth…

Being nosey

Inquisitive to a specific end…

In search to ease a vexing dilemma

Why?

The heart of the spirit

The soul’s working…

And compiling comprehension

The more we identify…

The further we don’t

We’re consumed…

By issues infinite

The Web

Poem: The Web

Web Poem

The web is where I am
doing all things that I can

The web is where I shall be
growing like a big strong tree

The web is relatively new
and where opportunities spew

The web is for me
and for you!

Who invented this web for sure
was it really Al Gore?

It really doesn't matter…

As it's everyone's platter

The web was handed to all
both big and small

The future is bright hence
so, don't just sit on a fence

Take advantage of the web
while the sun is just over head!

Waves on a Roll

Poem: Waves on a roll…

Frosty gush briskly curls athwart the reef…

Romantically hushed theater with breathtaking vigor

Keen to the superb moment…

Rolling waves with splendid fondness

… A revered domain with thoughts complete

Energy flow mightily in adulation…

Revealing the power of serene mystery

Quietly impressive with dazzling skies…

A depiction of priceless attraction

Power and grandeur colorfully naked…

Gifted ocean acclaimed and trusted

Rich in inspired presence, and comforting surprise…

Flowing in authentic fortunes valued and dear

Ocean dynamic and enthusiastic…

Ingenious splash the end awe touch

Sight remarkable wet and wild…

Cozy wind flows like love in action

I witnessed the amazement with full approval…

…and I pray for more waves of devout marvel

The ones that speak liberty and harmony

…and emphasize the superb day with insightful gusto
