Poetry: Writing

SOMETHING COMPELS ME




Something compels me
to write down the words
which, spoken aloud,
would never be heard.

Something compels me
to spill out in ink
the wandering notions
I sometimes think.

The pen that I hold
is my outlet of choice.
It gives life to thought,
lends an alternate voice.

The paper beneath
has a listening ear,
accepting of everything
others won't hear.

Something inside me says
someone may care,
and might enjoy reading
the words that I share.

Something compels you
to understand,
to listen more closely
to what flows from the hand.

    Sweet Dreams

    Whispers in the night...
    my mind does never rest.
    I went to bed at ten o'clock...
    these thoughts are such a pest.

    For Those Who Wait In Silence

    Writing, for now, is my lover abroad;
    Out of sight, but very much in mind.
    I hold it, caress
