No Love, No Pen

As I ponder the idea of writing and how I begin

I return to the past, where my pen was used the most

The words speak from there, telling me one thing

I write the best when I am loved

 

My favourite pieces do not contain l'amore

In fact, once I fell in love, I ceased love-focus

I wrote my soul, what I felt within was more

More than just the love I felt from him

 

I loved the boy, I loved to write

I loved to tell him of a new work of poetic art

He would not understand my words

But he read and appreciated anyway

 

Now I no longer have the love

Without it, I can't seem to write what's in my heart

Empty, just like the ink barrel of my pen

Just like the frame he left behind

 

I waited a lifetime for him to arrive

A lifetime to gain poetic bliss

I'm now lifeless; no love, no pen

I'm lost...

    For the longest time, love was my muse as well, and I know that it's very hard to write in its absence. I agree with Justin... It's very honest and emotional, and I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Well done, and good luck in your contest!

    Love and light,
