It's been a while

I thought I should probably write a poem, for those that used to enjoy my poetry before I aimlessly dissipated from the face of the earth

It's been A while

_____________________________

There was once a time last I recall

when I walked these desolate streets searching for hope

for the right reason to keep on writing

the reason I once held so dearly to my chest

but you see

that reason seems to have gotten lost along the way

and along with the reason

 I lost the power as-well

the power to connect words naturally and fluently.

I look back over what has been done, and wonder

how did I write like that.

It's like torture

Because to me, words are the greatest weapon ever given to man

to be allowed to speak 

whether it is in a place of freedom 

or of great depression

just being able to talk is a gift

words came before the ability to write

and it's such a shame

the new era seems to be loosing its ability to weave

and sew 

the beautiful canvas that our fathers created for us

has yet to feel the touch of paint across its fibred skin

it calls out but is only cut down and burned.

Where is the verbal talent gone.

Have they, like me lost their reason and power,

or do they see no point in continuing onward.

For once I can not end this painting with a lighter tone

because I see no colour returning

the white has all gone now

and all that is left is darkness...

Yes...

It truly has been a while....

I know how you feel. 100%. Losing the power and inspiration to write is just not cool.
