The Inkwell of Your Heart

Accidental Poet



Within the depths of your heart

Your muse beckons you there

To reach deep into your own abyss

For you have much to share

 

Sometimes we try too hard

To force the words to show

But if we loosen up a bit

Just allow the words to flow

 

Like the sprinkle of rain

First one, then two and three

Soon you’ll be on a roll

A poem there you’ll see

 

The conveyor belt from your heart

Will deliver poetic gold

With faith of your Angel

Confidence to you they told

 

And there you have it

Your own poetic art

From your deepest abyss

The inkwell of your heart

    So true. I wish everybody wrote poetry so that we could look into their hearts.
    How sane it would be to read a lovers poetry before making a committment.

    Into my favourites with this one. Thank you.

      Yes well agreed A.P. - - our surrender to Muse will provide all the art of we bit believe and hence loosen up. Great read.

      Yes , poetry can only flow from one’s heart, as has this piece today.

        Great poem , AP 🙂 I do like your poetry 🙂 I do believe words should flow ., I ajways think of you try too hard or overthink it ... then tgst simply gets in the way and doesn’t help . Write from the heart ..

          'From your deepest abyss'
          or
          'from your treasured bliss'
          either way, if its true - to you
          then that poetry will flow
          as if plucked
          from floating Elysium clouds...
          a fun read
          liked the self-belief: contagious
          in a great way
