Ridiculous Addiction
Locations
Pen to paper, ideas spewing out,
As one of my teachers said
like vomit,
Once you start, you can hardly stop
As the mountains build themselves
and castle walls erect themselves
An ambiguous blob begins to form
turning into
flesh and skin
A character who takes my hand
and drags me along
My pen leaving trails that
look like words
They knit themselves together
into sentences
paragraphs
pages
Of gorgeous landscapes
colors, sounds
And I sit amidst the
Genesis of a world unfolding
a world that once existed
Only within my head
and I am its god, sending
worlds colliding
Or maybe it's controlling me?
I hardly care, the high
of creation
(or perhaps it's the ink fumes)
Sending my emotions into
delirious spirals
Up, up, upward
Delicious paroxysms of joy
and a buzz that lasts me
All day, I can't wait
to again set forth
to my ridiculous addiction
Of setting pen to paper
once again
