***
Sitting at the end of the day,
when lights wrestle
the opaque darkness;
I try to comprehend
the vague thoughts;
biting me,
every depth in me.
But I lose sight
of the flowing fervour;
and the profound insides !!
This sudden whim
yielding me,
unlike me;
contradicting me;
takes me
into a bare horizon.
Of conglomerate intuition,
mismatched frequencies,
confused perceptions;
the panorama,
bleary and haze.
I take my pen to etch.
But the friction builds –
as the tip on the paper,
deadens the mechanism –
the current of write !!
And the canvas stares unclothed,
as words go astray.
My pen drops
my hands tremble;
for the words in my heart
play anagram
through my veins,
ambiguous and apathetic;
and my eyes unspoken
tears across
the murky breadths;
succumbing
to its nothingness.
I surrender
disgraced and at mercy
of destitute wordings
as it engulfs me again..
“The Writer’s Block”
And the lights,
wrestle and tussles
again;
the opaque darkness !!

As for the block, may I be frank? The only way to get past it is to write and keep writing. You’ll never feel the block 😊

I am going to say something, that you may not like, so I apologise at the outset.
There is nothing called as writers block, it is just our inertia to write, and the only way to overcome that is – you guessed it to write everyday. Which you aren’t doing and that really breaks my heart every time I come here.
As far as the poem goes, it is brilliant, and you have described your emotions so well. This is most of us, when we are unwilling to write and unforgiving with our writing. Its beautiful Sam, the way you write. Please write more often. Please
