Writing

An exercise

An art

A practice in frustration

An instrument

An incident

A single sublimation

An eternity

An instant

A moment in time

An echo

An ego

A staccato or rhyme

Dereliction of Duty

Words have been silent for far too long.
My will is weak but my desire strong.
How much longer before I obey my own siren song?

Out of practice
lost in time
no longer waiting
for the next rhyme
I must again
begin

Words have been silent for far too long.
My will is weak but my desire strong.
How much longer before I obey my own siren song?

Trying to forgive me
my dereliction of duty
My muse reminds me
of my creative beauty.

Words have been silent for far too long.
My will is weak but my desire strong.
How much longer before I obey my own siren song?
The words no longer silent must go on.
