poet's plea

I have no poetry tonight
no clever phrases
no pretty rhymes

Everything sounds
stale and trite
I have no poetry tonight

though emotions dance behind my lips
I can not grasp the simple wit
to turn a graceful phrase
as if I am drowning daze
normally words dance across the page
but each moment seems an age.

so here and now my poet's plea
will someone please inspire me?
