Today I thought I'd write a poem

I thought today I’d write a poem
but the words just weren’t there
or maybe I was missing the time
I just kept staring at the blank
screen in front of me, my fingers
on the keys, ready to type, type
words that bring forth music and
laughter and pleasure and pain
but instead I just stared blankly
wishing hoping imagining that
words would start coming out of
my fingers and start filling the
page but the longer I sat the less
likely that became and yet I couldn’t
stop myself from just sitting there
and thinking that maybe just a little
longer was all I needed to fill that
page with all those thoughts that
were just waiting to come out of
me come out of somewhere inside
me the place where magic happens
because I have a way with words I
can make words fill hearts and souls
and minds with pictures and images
and emotions, emotions are hardest
to capture but I have a way with words
I can make it happen most days but
today I just stare at the screen and
wish that I could write a poem, just
one little simple poem is all I wanted
but no, no words, no release, nothing
