Dry, like a desert’s swirling sand
Blowing across the cracking land

Masked behind the grains, a curtain
Of words, no longer am I certain

Finding no inner deep reward
I rattle, like a dried out gourd

Slipping into imagery
People only I can see

Lost among the dunes piled high
Reflecting on a life gone by

Forever, I wander, to find my way
Visions, thoughts, begin to fray

Into ragged pieces left behind
Cords that can no longer bind

Search again to find the verse
That rids me of this author’s curse

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

I’ve started so many poems
Some still lost inside my head
Of silver birds and broken hearts
And snoring in my bed

At times it’s hard to get the words
To come alive on paper
They disappear much too fast
It all becomes a vapor

So I go back and start again
And try with all my might
To make some sense
Of what it is
That I’m about to write
