Need More Words

So the words are coming to the brain

But not out on paper

Not where everyone can hear it

Not where everyone can read it

It comes one great line at a time

Then it stops flowing

Waiting for more words to come causes forgetfulness

Forgetfulness of the plot

Forgetfulness of the previous line

Forgetfulness of the rhyme

Forgetfulness of the feeling

A whole poem gone in seconds

Just a memory that can’t be retrieved

A thought that is incomplete

But who cares

No big deal

Only a few will read what is written

Even if they read only the mistakes will stand out

The message you create is ruined with misspellings

So why create something powerful

Why create a great line

Why create a long poem

Why lose brain cells over it

Because it's fun

Because it's love

Because it's a passion that can’t let go

So cheers to more

More great poems

And more unfinished ones

Wouldn't stop writing for nothing in this world
