Poetry: Love of writing

by Laura Leigh Fields

My love of writing

My love of writing
pours from within.
The sentences form paragraphs
deep under my skin.

The random thoughts
course through my veins.
They help me to express
my joys and pains.

I can't put down my book.
I won't release my pen.
There's so much to let out.
I just can't hold it all in.

I rush to write on all subjects.
I want to stay diverse.
It doesn't matter if I am journaling,
or just rhyming in verse.

The words taste so delicious,
when they are swallowed by my soul.
Every detail completes me.
Without writing, I'm not whole.

It is a strong desire.
It is my carefree choice.
My opinions have meaning.
I finally have a voice.

Writing is a hungry addiction.
It is a burning passion.
It is my method of therapy.
My love of writing is more than fun.
