Thoughts of mine
Swirl and twirl
From pen to ink it tapers
Bringing forth the flow,
The afterglow
Immortalized on paper
***
The thoughts of mine
Gathered over time
The good, the bad, and more
They clutter my mind
And prevent sleep at bedtime
But are exorcised by my ink laden rapier
***
In the depths of the night
As I twist and turn
Frustrated with insomnia
Staring at the floor, the walls, the doors
Sleep dances away from the thoughts of my day
And memories of my past lovers
***
I finally take up my pen
And empty my brain
As the page is filled with stray thoughts
I finally turn over and relax once more
And drift off into happy slumbers
***
In the morning I find
Another poem of mine
And a mind clear and quietly at peace
Happily, I sigh when bedtime is nigh
As I drift off into effortless slumbers…
…Ah but poetry is a delight for both the writer and reader

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
