___________

Tidal waves of uncertainty

 wash across my scarred oak desktop.

The page teasing me with it's emptiness.

 Not a thought will leak from my pen

and it dawns like a

maiden voyage champagne:

 

        My soul is blank.

 

My mind

    vacant of the most feeble thought
 each vapid breath a mortal sin.

 

When there are no tears,

  alive inside with which to cry,

and not a drop of determination persists.

 

 Persperation rusts my brow

  and my broken fingers scratch to make

 mere bone etchings.

 

Something, 

  if just to shatter the nothing.
