The Answer (Guest Entry)

Here's a reply from my Dad...for the last  post. You're truly amazing Dad :* I love you so much :*

I too look at myself, in the mirror,

And sometimes, see a stranger there

I thought I knew, all the ropes, all the roads,

Now some times, I see a danger there

No, it’s not a writer’s block,

It’s just a blank wall, that blocks my vision

My eyes are wide open,

But they just seem, to stare into oblivion

Words are just no more my friends,

So they are not easy, to be spoken, or written

It’s not that I don’t want to say something,

It’s just that, all the right words are hidden

It’s just a phase I’m going through, right now,

I thought, I understood love & life, but I’m confused

There’s so much contradiction, so many conflicts

So much is going on in my world, it keeps me amused

You say, my words cast a spell,

That they were an inspiration, for you

I’m sorry if I disappointed you, my girl,

I promise to rise above this situation, for you

'Cause if you know me, you’ll know I’m a fighter,

With two negatives, I love to make a positive

Yes, you’ve given me a challenge, saying,

Not to leave the page blank, and to try to be creative

See, I've managed to pick up the courage,

And write these lines, only FOR YOU

From the blanks, I've tried to join the dots

With some words, I could find only for you

THANK YOU SWEETY,

YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION, YOU KNOW

YOU WILL HELP ME,

IN MY DESPERATION, OF THIS I’M SURE

Thank you, Dad. I loved this post. This is what I was talking about. You words are amazing, because you are too. I knew you'd bounce back, I've always known :*

An Inspiration

I look at you, and wonder,

What are you waiting for?

What do you need?

About what, are you not sure?

Why do you falter?

What is it, that stops you?

Which tide is it,

That you wish, to swim through?

I saw a world so different,

Through your eyes

A tear turned to laughter,

A sunset, to sunrise

Now, why is it,

That you deny me

Of words of love and romance,

Those of winds, and the sea?

I crave to hear the words,

That you once weaved, out of little

Nothing else could give me,

The joy, they would bring

What is it, that inspires you?

I know not, what is wrong

I write now, to make you understand,

What I had known, all along

Your words cast a spell,

They're an inspiration to me,

If that light inside you, fades away,

So will the world, I love to see

This post was written on a whim...for someone who really should know how good he is...my Dad :* I know it's not a writer's block that's stopping you from writing, please don't stop...I hope you find this post an inspiration, maybe just in a way that you can write me a reply to it?

You're amazing at this, Dad, and I can't wait to read your words, weaved into beautiful poetry or writing, something that takes me into another world altogether, something that inspires me...

I love you, do it for me please :* 

Don't leave that page blank,

Fill it with your thoughts

Pick up that pen now,

Let's start joining the dots

:)
