He Never Left Me
I thought my pen left me….
Thought he packed up before night could
kiss the lips of early sunrise
suitcase suffused with empty pages
My uninspired phases
of having no tales to tell, no stories to sell
just nude thoughts sheathed in confusion,
resting in the bottom of a dried inkwell
I thought my quill walked away
felt he overstayed his stay
leaving me alone amidst my mental chaos
where agony thrived and sanity attempted poetic- suicide
Confining me, subliminally
in a cage that held my fallacious reasoning
behind a brick wall built with writer’s block hands
He never left me.
He waited and anticipated the moment when we would
stain lineless paper with saturated diction
leaving moist verbs, soaking stages with spoken words,
Seducing readers until cognitively slurred,
from inebriated images scribed with a climatic reed
too explicit for innocent eyes to comprehend
I paid homage to my pen for patiently waiting
I licked the tip of his Bic so he could hit his high quick
lyrical juices pumping, ink-strokes deliberately slow
we could call this the beginning of an artistic afterglow
but in actuality it’s just me,
brushing rust off my Poetic-flow

Thank you Taryn, I agree. You know, I may be in the minority but, I can't write or stay focused when I'm emotionally broken. Most poets write through their emotions. They use pain, struggles, etc... as motivation. They can pick up a pen and suddenly everything becomes clear, but for me, I need my faculties and spirit at 100.

Absolutely no rust on the tip of your Bic!
When you come back it's an orgasm of ink!
My eyes are tingling for more of your verse
The rain storm returns lifting the silent curse
Your thunder shakes me with vibrations in words
Now my spirit can rise up beyond soaring birds
To slide back down your rainbow into your pool of gold
Then swim in your ink for which my soul has been sold
"Gold Never Rusts"

Rain, my cherished friend,
This piece is so cleverly crafted.....and as always, your (AAaahhhh)mazing talent is absolutely evident within these lines!!
Indeed--at times, our muses definitely are the sources of our worst frustrations....taunting us...becoming stubborn,or shy.....even taking unexpected, unexplained vacations!
Invariably...inevitably though, these seemingly 'fickle lovers' return.....and to be certain, yours never completely abandoned you!
(I mean, after all.....deep down , he knew just how good he had it with you....LOL!!!)
Extending my warmest welcome back, to you! You have so surely been missed!!
Enchantress xo

Oh Rain baby I'm so chuffed to see you back and in full flow. Judging by the flood of positive comments I'm not alone. I loved: "licked the tip of his Bic so he could hit his high quick
lyrical juices pumping, ink-strokes deliberately slow" Naughty but nice!
All the best Rain.

"We could call this" majestic. And I shall.
Radiant Rain, where rust will never abide
glowing not after but always, unable to hide
the quill which gestures eloquence from a hand, words cannot describe
fondness for rare talent, so I challenge, "Do not deprive
ability, love and passion, three vital ingredients, gifts to evermore thrive"
Yes, I've missed you.

Woooo..look who is back! You're the person I missed the most in DUP. I am rejoiced to read your work again. I am glad you're back. And your poem? You wrote an entire poem about lack of inspiration. I didnt find any dearth or mitigation of your brilliance! So glad that you're back.

this is a gem of a poem, RainC...
alluring, lyrical and my how we can all relate to this!
at one time or another!
.....thought my quill walked away
felt he overstayed his stay
leaving me alone amidst my mental chaos
where agony thrived and sanity attempted poetic- suicide
Confining me, subliminally
in a cage that held my fallacious reasoning
behind a brick wall built with writer’s block hands.... -- stellar
i agree: you seduce us all with your ink! thank you for sharing
