Writing Poetry
Murmurs
heady murmurs
pregnant with voices
that silently shriek
and
play games
of hide and seek.
Temptation is
the urge
the silent desire
of my cliche' ridden mind
to bind and clothe
these images
in neat and tidy
familiar packages.
Is this what it takes
to write poetry ?
Mute struggles with thoughts
like gentle drizzles
that dance fleetingly
from the soul
and quietly threaten
to make me whole ?
