Writer's Block Again
Blank page intensity
bright, bright white
stares at me
waiting for my command

fingers poised
holding the pen
the paper waiting
for the first stroke

I stare
and stare
listen
no sounds

except for the distant voices
mocking me
goading me
full of expectation

come on buddy
you can do it
work your magic
come on write, write,
feed us
give us a drink
offer us rest
make us strong
in our fight

and the blank page
continues to stare
mouth agape
fangs dripping
threatening my consumption
lips turning upward
forming an evil,
all knowing grin...

I wonder
if I'll ever, ever
be able to write
meaningful words
again?
