birds sing tunes gay
on this lovely bright spring day
their songs nicely play
deep pools of sorrow
waiting to drown me

pulled down by fear,
guilt and remorse

today, I know where
the stepping stones are
that guide me
step by step
to the other side
on the blank white page
the poet bears
his soul
emotions spill
the hardships
joys
and heartaches
told
we gain an insight
by reading
his narrative
his words
proliferate our minds
with his explanatory lines
the poet's ink
is indelible on the page
of his life experiences
we engage
howling dogs howled
a hideous howl as the wind's
howling haunted Hal

unrelenting thoughts are vying
for valuable space in my head
Another touch of insomnia
Had a way with words
Had a way with these many letters
All scrunched together
Scrambled to the edges that hold them together
I don't know what I'm writing
Don't care enough to know
that I am writing.
Confusion and confusion
beguiles me
as I scrunch and scramble more words.
Holed up in a bed
With a few blankets
A running nose
Temperature as hot as a fire
Poor throat, my poor throat
Letting lose of the dust at its base
A running nose
A blocked nose
Hidden ears
burning forehead
sick.
