Pen to Paper

He’s struggling. Writer’s Block.

Unable to fathom the courage to

Delve into the mental; to fabricate a

Vernacular specific enough to illustrate

The meaning why things are the way they

Seem…or maybe perhaps he’s struggling to

Find a purpose in this labyrinth called life with

Its many mazes…..it’s many puzzles.

Or is it that he tries to muster up the audacity to express his

Love for her but chickens out subconsciously;

Until there is a psychotic break in his inner conscience;

Rubic’s cube of a mind; the ashes of what was once despair

Now rises like the Phoenix and he finally puts the pieces

Together like a scene from Law and Order and graciously

Has the drive and the confidence…the confidence to put

Pen to Paper.
