Inspired

Sometimes inspiration comes from somewhere much closer than you would expect.

I sit in this ol' empty room
all quiet and still,
it's like I'm on the moon.

The only company I'll entertain
are shadows and furniture
and my lonesome brain.

This restless body, needs not a bed
to rest its wavering soul.
It yearns to dream, to forfeit its dread
whilst awake in reality's dome.

This raging, beating, fiery heart
dormant in a shell; unable to start,
needs an ignition to entice the flames
of passion and flair into my veins.

So where can I find
this potential spark,
to bring my mind
out from the dark?

To search the depths,
to scour the heights?
A route so bereft,
no trail to abide.

The answer, uncertain.
Its quest, unforgotten.

Maybe it is nearer
than what I had imagined.
I can feel it building closer;
it's not from another planet.

So I look deep within me
and find the same heart
Which once failed its glory
has now renewed its spark.

"The closer you get to something
the tougher it is to see it"
-That is the old witty saying
and to this poem, gives merit.

Sometimes, we must delve
into the darkness of ourselves
and find that inspiration,
that reason for our continuation.

Good enough for what?..........It's your mind, it's your life blood poured out in a kind of rhyme, that It's you, and no one can take that away from you. Inspiration comes often when one neither needs or wants it :O) enjoyed, I think it was good enough dont you?

[The old me]

great rhythm

[Frances O'Neill]

It sounds like the times when you just can't get off the ground, but persistence is engrossed behind the chair.

[Thea Fuentebella]

it's great! there were some tinee tiny parts where the rhyming seemed forced but overall..the imagery's great and you have your own way with playing the words.

[Jake Staffeld]

[A.E. Surdam]

So love it! Rhyming! Awesomeness. It was imaginative and all so sensual at the same time. Great job! Really! And seriously. And whenever someone writes something on a whim it turns out amazing.

why this describes exactly how i feel at the moment!!!


"I'm tired and I'm weak
but I can't fall asleep.
I'm irritated and bored
of the same old world
where dreams are only that
and reality- a mere fact."

"So where can I find
this potential spark,
That will bring my mind
out from the dark?"

Hell yea great enough!

I came, I read---nuff said

I think this is an amazing piece, really captures how something just casually pops into your head after hours of frustration. . .and then suddenly you have you're Eureka moment!!

This is the way the creative being functions. Whereas others in a boring situation might count the cracks in the ceiling, your imagination can take you on fantastic voyages and build castles in the sky.
