Engage your passion which has stopped
Reignite your voice with a prompt
Procrastination has you locked
Burn down to ashes this writer’s block
Make your words aflame once more

Thanks to Patricia’s Place and her In Other Words challenge
This is the first time I’m sharing an inspirational quote on my blog. I often think of when I’m struggling to write down well, anything. Hope you fellow Bloggers can relate to this man’s words. The man who held “the key to unlock your imagination”.
Why attempt an escape from this current decline
Such silly endeavors merely waste all your time
This returned stagnation again feels so warm
No incentive to make illusions as you did once before
While in this dim state, a tarnish clouds all your past writings
You’re fooled that their words had nourished basically nothing
Are you sold yet on this dampening distraction?
When in fact it’s true purpose is pausing your passion
Sift through these obstacles cluttering your artistic recession
Find a new spark out of this darkening suppression
Resurrecting your muse can seem rather scary
Unleashing its fury long held down by a sloth adversary

This blank frustration renders me still
Forcing words down against my will
People think being able to write is a heavenly gift
It’s also a burden often difficult to lift
It’s more than just verbs coupled with nouns
It is a tapping of veins in letting stories flow out
False lives are born from the sparks in your mind
Connected through ink they make escapes from your life
A rambling of concepts that sometimes make sense
Coherent in structure in its formidable dense
Its all an illusion making such tales as easily rendered
The truth being that writing can be a torturous splendor

“Look baby, just introduce me” snapped gangster Harry “the hat” Silvanto as he stripped off his clothes revealing empty air underneath. “I feel stupid” Ginger cried back. But, Harry knew better. Once he saw Prof. Stein’s invisibility formula work, Harry knew he could take over the cartel. He killed the professor and drank his concoction. At today’s underworld meeting, Ginger would soon introduce a super-powered ‘GHOST HARRY’ as their new boss, in one of his many signature hats. It was similar to another hat he owned, one that was inadvertently left behind at the professor’s lab, complete with Harry’s fingerprints.

The dullness of work days once again suffocates
Eight hours too long for the dreamer named Kate
Her cubicle prison with post-it frustrations
Sinking her life into settled stagnation
She yearns to fly into that blissful escape
To leave once again this monotonous landscape
Salaried clones surround her in their caffeine fueled haze
Merely want silence to survive these days
She rises above this imagining her own fantastic scenes
Waiting for shift’s end to bring life in writing her dreams
