He touched me So I lift my pen, Roll its familiarity between my fingers Gently blow the specks Seeking that clarity of definition From the dusty drawer Slammed shut by daily mediocrity Suffocated in Life’s metaphor. A muse has stirred within Sentience no longer blinkered Searching songs and poets’ prose Such beauty of rhyme and form My love of words reborn Yet few can truly capture those undefinable thoughts I glimpse myself perpetually grasping clarification Since he touched me And so I lift my pen and write and fail and write again

Since he touched me
He touched me So I lift my pen, Roll its familiarity between my fingers Gently blow the specks Seeking that clarity of definition From the dusty drawer Slammed shut by daily mediocrity Suffocated in Life’s metaphor. A muse has stirred within Sentience no longer blinkered Searching songs and poets’ prose Such beauty of rhyme and form My love of words reborn Yet few can truly capture those undefinable thoughts I glimpse myself perpetually grasping clarification Since he touched me And so I lift my pen and write and fail and write again
Always trying, never quite getting there...
