Inspired By Darkness

The greatest thing that ever happened to my writing is the disquiet in my head

And in my soul.

The raging storm which has made me cower,

Against this I have no power

And yet, these tribulations

Cause the ink of my pen to flow

Like the waterfalls of faraway lands

 

If I were happy, balanced and in control,

My writing would be banal, boring-

Uninspired

In my darkest hours and bleakest days

My writing has flourished

Beside my withering soul.

 

Sadness- I thank you

Anger- Please don’t leave me

Raging storm inside my head- Drench me.

For you flood my pages with the brightest words of my heart and soul.
