Words, They Escape Me

Words they escape me

They fall from my mind

Can be heard by the deaf

And be seen by the blind

They float to the ground

And they smash on a rock

They shatter like splinters

I have writers block

I go to the cupboard

And get out a brush

But before I can sweep up

It all turns to mush

Another one falls

I grab in mid air

The word crushed in fist

I pull at my hair

The dark recesses of my

Mind is left dense

Whatever I pluck at

Just does not make sense

What used to come to me

With the greatest of ease

Refuses to budge

No matter how teased

So stick my head on the

Writer’s chopping block

And guillotine from me

Those words to unlock
