I watch you write and have so much I want to say

Good evening lovely lady

You’ve no idea who I am,

I’ve watched you every day

You could say I’m a fan.

***

I watch as you wrestle

With painful emotions,

You refuse to give up

In awe of your devotion.

***

Writing helps you deal

With your random thoughts,

If it comes to nothing

You will happily abort.

***

I may do more than watch

When you are at a loss,

A word here or there

An exemplary idea I’ll toss.

***

Do you feel me here at all

Constantly beside you,

Putting pen to paper

Of feelings long overdue.

***

On more than one occasion

I’ve written the entire piece,

On that odd occurrence

The words exist on release.

***

You are shocked at the time

Of how easy that was to write,

You didn’t seem to even think

Yet your words flow in delight.

***

Did you ever really wonder

If you’d had a helping hand,

Instantly the perfect word

Penned on the page unplanned.

***

You read the words back

And it’s like they’re brand new,

Did they come from your pen

Doesn’t feel like it was you.

***

No my love, I am right here

Helping you on the side,

I’m your real ghostwriter

Coming along for the ride.

***

I had hoped you’d notice

That I’ve been here before,

I’ve knocked, I’ve yelled out

Almost beaten down the door.

***

So Colleen, let me say hello

And introduce myself to you,

I’m your friendly ghostwriter

To help your words ring true.

***

Call on me at any given time

I’ll spout the words you need,

To allow your clogged thoughts

To be expressed and set free.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
