Blank

Having replayed some past conversations over and over in my head looking for rationality, all I've been able to come up with is a sense of nothingness, an inability to conjure true thought.  So here I struggle to break free from the prison walls of writers block  influenced by everything and nothing...somebody and nobody; and so i keep fighting for freedom. 



They thundered from his lips, cementing the coming event, breathing life into what was once a meaningless painting.
Now the plant grows, with roots buried deep within the earth,
 branches swaying to and fro revealing what was once the figment of imagination
 hidden under leaves of disgust and distrust.
‘There’s no place like home’ I keep clicking my heels
 willing my mind to keep me from the presence
of being at the foot mother’s willow tree.


Deafening silence lends to an air of desolation;
on the surface I am the Sahara desert, tumble weeds are my thoughts
rolling aimlessly across dry heated sand.
 Martian-the nationality of my mind; dry….its life giving fluid having dried up eons ago, no
scholastic mind can aid in correction.
Transformed into a painting …abstract i become,
 no definitive form…, confusing colors , bold lines,
black and blue dots jumbled to tell no story …..
but many stories at once.
As the ballad of mother’s willow tree bellows through the air,
‘there’ no place like home’, ‘there’s no place like home’…
clicking my heels I will my mind from the desolation

of stories never told.
