A Poets' Prayer


On this day, I cannot create
I cannot write
I've drawn a blank and,
There is nothing there, but-
Empty spaces
Where my words should be


Oh, the reality of the things that is
And, what could be?


Those things, which are inscribed
Upon the tables of my heart:
Yet, inexpressive of my thoughts
To of which and when,
My Writers' Block departs
Seated at my desk, is where I shall be
To create again


Relieve me of this hollowness,
This absence, this emptiness and void
Dub thee begetter of words
Persuade my inventiveness
To Produce & Cultivate
That I may give birth to a poem.
