Prison in Ink
Obsession in words, with paper and pen
Rest a forgotten old friend
Sunlight and darkness, though clearly reverse
The same when the day has no end
Restlessness fueled by creativities curse
Fixation expressed unrehearsed
A tireless effort, words penned on a page
Displayed as a phrase and a verse
With diction and literacy, in letters expressed
The fruits of his mind manifest
As days turn to weeks, and weeks turn to months
Bear the curse of the poet obsessed
About this poem
To my fellow poets.
