bring it! (an ode to writers block)

'

 

*Let's slaver with anticipation

as your taunts fly past

let us grapple you

while your fangs pierce

and vilest venom spreads

 

numb our soul and mind

 

let us scream and cringe

agonise upon this page

let blankness reign supreme

slay this potent pen

for all of eternity

 

make your emptiness pristine

 

hover around our carcass

you scavenging vulture

eat away our rotted entrails

tear at sinews, limb from limb

pluck blind eyes and vitals

 

drain the fluids of creativity

 

cloying leech on pallid skin

halt our writing and our speech

in your acid, our verses bleach

let us writhe, mouth agape

drink your unquenchable thirst

 

hit us hard with writer's block*
