Love and heartbreak are my muse

In my writings and my truths.

–

To feel those extremes and feel them hard

And put them in words with careful regard.

–

To share the purest and darkest of feelings

With life’s happiest and saddest dealings.

–

Is a privilege and not a curse

Processing emotions and not feeling worse.

–

Finding common ground with all around

Relating your words in your blog abound.

–

I keep writing, day and night

Trying to get the rhythms, right.

–

And when I want to break my norm

I try out new poetic forms.

–

I like the technical aspects that apply

Just fitting in words and figuring out why.

–

In the end when it’s time to share,

I make my edits and choose with care.

–

Lest my poetry goes off the rail

Which would be an epic fail…
