Let the powers that be, draw you ever so near
Ignite the madness, let its path lead you clear
To the place where the words cluster together
Written in rhyme, with ink, pen and a feather
Word of the Day – Ignite
FOWC with Fandango – Madness

Pen to the paper
Lines that I scribble
Fall slowly, my mind
Starting to dribble
A trickle of ink
A blotch full of letters
That turn into words
Somehow much better
Than leaving the paper
Barren and white
This is my legacy
At the end of the night
Writing Prompt: Scribbles and Dribbles – Day 27/31

I am but a piece, created from a strip of bark
Crumpled by your hands, smoothed out again
Your thoughts, played over and over
My essence lacks emotion, and yet, I
Am able to feel the passion that flows
From your fingertips, through the pen, to me
A single sheet of paper, waiting, watching
As you bring me to life with every stroke
With every sigh, with every bit of your soul.

I sit here, in my office
My one place to breathe
Where I can write quietly
My gentle reprieve
Placed my hands on the keyboard
But something felt wrong
The words made no sense
As I typed them along
What could be happening?
Not now, my dearest friend!
My keyboard then answered
“Use paper and pen”
A talking piece of hardware
Where all my thoughts do play
Was telling me to change it up
To try a new display
“Learn to flow more freely
Write your verse, with endless flair
Then sit back and admire
What you’ve done, unaware”

What happens when the words just fade?
When thoughts no longer are displayed
Upon the empty parchment, where
They used to dance, without a care
Poured so sweetly from my pen
I need to find those words, again
The ones that bared my heart and soul
Emotions, I could not control
Perhaps, they’ve found another place
And I am just another face
Perchance, they’ll once again return
To quell this everlasting yearn
