DOING TIME ON THE WRITERS BLOCK

a poem about the influences of having writers block

Doing time on the writers block  Headaches only scalp the physical description or skim the surface my fingers map-out and in the blank lines connecting doubt desperation dead ends  dry  out  in hieroglyphic rain     Between you and that line the potentials  your mood swings    balancing the evidence you mistake for madness at face value, like the elbow shadows on the desk that riddle was formed before light was even discovered      hands god given in the word maze  clocking pain   each verb struggles an estimate that either makes or breaks day   and as it swings that tacky beat you us your heart moves closer to eternity’s bosom    the fate brain rapes against tree skin reminds you of the stone-coma epitaphs    never written    Inside the pendulum locks in a witness  clotting victims tracking  the  nostalgia, racing blood forgets now and then     against those bone odds writing begins mind crime stationary   it's scary exposed like that, line conned by the pros outliving you  the soul geology  your effort, instinctual  as the desire it takes to be remembered    but to see angels envy us at that very  moment   the spikes free of extending consequences   the universe  opens creativity winging the sacrifice our heads make below   leaving   dreams of cliffs on edges  setting      the cannons held the relics lust mix     timing        trimming echoes off a passing age   a soul geometry   never to see us coming but hear our words returning to live again

. hmmm ... if this is what you write when you're doin' time ... i wonder what happens when you're not ... i shall find out ... meanwhile ... here's a thought ... if achievement and experience were mutually exclusive ... and they are ... though we don't think so usually ... then this would be a magnum opus ... an epic ... comprehensive and inviting ...

some great lines here...alliteration...love my alliteration...it's bloody meat to someone forced to eat alot of vegetables / rice and baked beans...i know i don't come by as often as id like but im sure you know how it is with time constraints and the many impositions in a life...still...i will get around to all eventually..for i find each new exposure to your work to be most revelatory...writers block is nothing new to writers...thus you'll see much sympathy round these here parts with a write concerning a common problem...i wait it out...watch movies...read my fave poets in the hope i can clean some new take on some age old universal truth...this is excellent...this was enjoyed...

wow, this is a poem set apart by the substance of a flurry which motes around a foundation unique to its setting, the effects do cause a shift in perspective while being pulled from line to line, word to word, but opposition to understanding nature to it's core is the spiritual uncertainty faced before one's own call of judgement, and everything

is a backdrop to achieving a full understanding of life, love, longing, living
dying, hating, the messege conceptualized here draws to mind many
facets, yet encapsultes a solid image of a muses telepathy of sorts.
in all regards, phenomonal job. takes the reader to another plain

You sure were not going through writers block when you wrote this masterpiece. Intense and very creative and original way of explaining writer's block.
"that riddle was formed before light was even discovered" I love this line because to me it means everything you have written or thought of writing has already been done or thought of. thanks for sharing.

mind crime stationary

it's scary


exposed like that,


conned by the pros outliving you
the soul geology your effort,
instinctual as the desire it takes to be remembered



but to see angels envy us at that very moment
time's free of extending consequences

yes free of extending consequences...by Angels or Time..."Mind Crime"the soul geology your effort.....Yes Our landscape and the consequences to have the monument of time and consequences conquered....very gritty and visceral.

this is the first poetic of yours I've read~ you stream consciousness in a clear and precise gorgeous torrent of images that collide and blend beautifully with flesh and blood~the celestial~ the intangible~ elusive framework of a muse on solar fire~ amazing~
