trying something new? and sharing some of my poetry (Patreon)

audio file to listen to and then written poem below 

Thoughts 

Why is it that, 

every time I try to write,

to out the thoughts that occupy 

every crevice of my mind,

that speak loudly

and beg my attention,

the words mute

leaving me....

an empty space.

I only want to do them justice

to let the words speak their mind

for them to become more than just...

ideas.

I mean shouldn't they to want to...

solidify themselves? 

become something greater? 

Just a moment a ago 

I swear I felt them at my fingertips

urging me to get a pen, a computer, a leaf

just something

like they were going to die

If they weren't written down.

But…

I guess they just aren't ready yet

and though I try

to catch them when I can

I won't force them out 

I'm sympathetic 

For I know all too well the fear 

behind a thought becoming 

reality.
