When I write
My soul ignites,
And I burst
Into flames,
As the words call out
My name.
_____________________
Every emotion
Is an opportunity,
To design a world
Not currently existing.
_____________________
To write to my heart’s delight,
To bleed words with all of my might.
_____________________
No heartbreak is
off limits,
No love is lost:
I will clean my tears
And write about it.
_____________________
No plagiarists can
steal my joy,
Even though like the Biblical thief,
They seek to steal, kill and destroy.
_____________________
To write well,
You have to be under a spell,
_____________________
Twisting worldly worries
Into compelling stories.
_____________________
Writing is like a never-ending war
Where you are always the Victor.
