Poetry - Blank

My pen kept caressing my notepad without making any sense... Here is a piece about how i feel when i lack inspiration to write...

BLANK

As intense as the heat of the sun at noon,
So was my gaze at nothingness
As I sat still
Wearing the expression of a corpse
Whose eyes where never shut
Still as the night
Lost in the turbulence of my mind
As the storms of confusion
Persistently clouded my judgments…

Peering into the soul of the unknown
Words have become dinosaurs in my head
As I search for its Jurassic world
Battling extinction
Not sparing my eyelids a blink
If only I could conjure spiritus Mundi
Of William Shakespeare
And Henry Vaughan
Descending into the gyre
Of their antiquated creativeness
Then maybe
I could create a maelstrom
From these bare pages
To allure all who gaze upon,
Granting them entry
Into the world beyond. 


- Ogaba Samuel
