Let’s make things write!

I still want to write,

The day may be over, but young is the night

So then the pleasure is infinite

So much that I may just write about it

I still want write

To lay down the difference between black and white

Illuminate it all in written thought

Find the joy that I’ve all day sought

I still wish to write

But a lack of inspiration is my enemy to fight

So I close my eyes and grip my pen

Study the void and count ten

I still wish to write

Still wish to let it all ignite

And burst in flames

So I can feel complete, and call myself a few names

I still desire to write

Still yearn to rid myself of this hunger, in a bit of a bite

With a taste of stanza melted over rhythmic metaphor

Kissing my heart so deep that it is felt in every ventricle

I still desire to write

Trying to focus with all my might

I thrust my pen forward

Let that ink be lowered

I still want to write

Still crave to write

Today I don’t want to recite

I only wish to write

Now keep quiet and listen

To this poem

That I have just written!
