A night of a thousand poems

A night of a thousand poems
A night of a million words
This constant chatter in my mind
Reminds me of birds

My mind runs rampant with a billion thoughts
This unwanted work, makes my mind run hot
Phrases, sentences, plots, and rhymes
This tanglement of words, I can't unbind

Something must have stirred this brew
Some wicked beast, I couldn't slew
Like a thief it crept in unseen
Now it smilingly foils with my brain

Paper I have sought
For a pen I have fought
Neither seem to be in reach
To the world I beseech

I was made useless
This I must confess
The jolt is gone
And now I know not the rest
