Writer's Block

No punctuation this time. Opened my blog after a long time and decided to publish a little something for you evergreens for what it's worth. 

Your eyes are burning
Your heart's on fire
You try to speak
But the calm stays quiet

So you try to write
But your brain stays blank
A hermit-like solitude
Is all you have

Minutes turn to days
Days become weeks
You carry on with life
And forget all the peaks

The happy little moments
A poem and a story
Silent satisfaction
That makes it hunky dory

But one day you remember
And it drags onto the next
It starts to spread like fire
A nagging in your chest

So you come back to the board
And try to start anew
It's like travelling back an era
But passing the old you

The lines and the scribbles
Made sense a while ago
Now you let your thoughts flow freely
You'll take what comes and goes

You try to capture it all
You really try your best
And then you label your poem
Writer's block I guess
