Stuck at a crossroad and my pen is out of ink
My keys are matted to the board
and I can't seem to think
there is so much to explore
however, mere interpretation is plagued
try as I may to resume
the translation returns vague
what are the correct words
whats the appropriate phrase
my heart is aching
my mind is at a gaze
so now i must rely on the sweat of the pain
that drenches this very soul
incorporate each instance
this becomes a new goal
borrow little droplets to add to my pen
words gather quickly
images enter in
heartache no longer prolonged
with the production of each letter
a therapeutic lesson emerges
and somehow I feel a little better
Author notes
This is how I resolved the block was recently plagued with, as best as I can explain it.

I love it, especially the descriptive words you used so well to express what transpired here... "plague" and "matted" instead of usual, everyday words
