The ink bleeds through the stained page
In an evanescent tirade of belated rage.
Only blankness can stay as talent fades.
The paints are shades of gray
That express the artist's pain
Of his inspiration that fades.
Wrong chords are mistakenly placed
In the staff that was drawn in shame
So that the ability to play now fades.
The ink is desecrated and wasted on the page,
The colorless paints of gray are chipped away,
And the dead notes no longer play the same.
The death of all muses procreates
The fate of art to decimate and fade.

| You can't stop writing. You might be going through a bout of writer's block, but just give it some time. Everything will be ok. I was like this too, not too long ago actually. Don't stop writing! I enjoy reading what you have to say. *S* Cynthia |

You are such a talented writer. I throughly enjoy ur work. U have a uniqueness in ur writing. I'm actually going through a writers block at the moment. My mind simply just can't think of what to write lol. Give it time my friend and it shall flow again.
Give urself some time out and you'll be back to posting those fantastic poems of urs in no time. Take care.

by reading this I would say your pen is still a flaming instrument of desire my friend its still there! Im wondering if writers block comes and goes as seasons change my mind is reeling but gets lost in the ink somewhere.
Hang in there your talents shines!

J,
Sounds like you are writing about me.......... Terrible feeling, so it is...... As a talented writer I know once told me, "Let those who have no talent, write as much, You need to write more"............. The words will come when they are supposed to. Keep the faith.
Trust me,

I deeply feel the flow of this one
we all fade
but then you'll feel it
and you will flow
as you only you can.

| I truly hope you don't stop writing. I'm sure this is just a classic case of writer's block and it happens to everyone, but once you come out of it, the best work comes with it. :-) |

they are not dead,i tell you, it only seems like they're goverment emplyees. you'll see, when they get back from break. but until they do, i'll be hiding in my paints (that's me, all curled up behind the brushes, muttering...).
interesting choice of words for the last stanza.
i like it. alot
thanks for sharing |

another excellent write. this is a topic i've toyed with myself but have never been able to express, therefore i personally have decided not to tackle it until i was ready. you really did an amazing job here, you built up some very vivid images of colors and music and just art in general and you properly conveyed emotions here.
i could really feel this poem, as far as feeling poems goes...meh, i culd b high now u never kno : ) lol but anways this was another fine piece, and hopefully there really isnt a drought of writing coming along or anything.... |

Jen,
You have such a way with words. It amazes me. You are so entirely talented. It is so nice to see someone with such a great wrting ability. You could write a poem in your sleep and still have it come out as amazing and though provoking as the ones you write while awake. Astonishing... really thats all i can say. Great job never stop writing!
